Mixed bloodlines, but I am, and always will be an Englishman.

I am not British, I am ENGLISH.

Whilst I may have a foreign surname and foreign roots, I am as patriotic as can be, and am a very proud Englishman.
 
Could you find anyone alive today who's one of those? Particularly since 'Celt' was never any kind of identity and was made up many centuries later. It would be better to speak in terms of Iceni, Brigante, Trinovante, Catuvellauni, etc, and even those might be the wrong names anyway - are they the names the tribes used for themselves or the Roman names for them?

Well made point and I have to agree completely. Our island is such a mash-up of peoples and always has been afaik.

Probably best not to mention to the Welsh and Cornish about their language's closer association with Arabic and Turkish in particular than the English language ;)
 
British. 1/4 Scottish, 3/4 English, grew up in England, live in Scotland. Much as I appreciate the opportunities I've had as a result of being born here, I've never been a huge one for patriotism anyhow.
 
Something else, british. Born here, grew up here, parents are from the Caribbean and are technically indian asian. Put other as many a 'native' has told me i'm not English and been called enough names over my lifetime to realise i'll never be as well.
