I think the problem surrounding the word "British", is that people like Mayuran dont recognise or realise or understand that "British" is a relatively new concept, and people are emotionally and ethnically tied to their ancestral roots by region. The Scots, The Welsh, The Cornish and The English, are those things. And then inside those areas there are locational attachments. People only really became nomadic during the Blair era when young people started going off to university. Its why people are so attached to their own sports teams, from their own area. Just between Camborne and Redruth - a distance of 5 miles, there are differences. Look at Liverpool, and they're almost a separate country, despite being inside England and Britain. There are things that only natives understand, that are almost impossible to articulate - like hating the French. To the native people of Britain, trying to crowbar everyone in to a very narrow umbrella term of "being British" doesn't work because we are much more than one word, one flag, one place and one people, and we're thousands of years old, and we're many very different tribes.
