Unlucky, most people want to get out of here
Congrats dude.
LOL What he said
After a 6.5 year and expensive process, today my wife and I get Naturalised as British and will hold a dual citizenship for South Africa as well
Literally on our way to the ceremony for 11am, there's no getting rid of me now lol
Anyway I will honour this country and my vote has already been posted off. It's a good day to be naturalised - who knows what will happen if the BNP win
Well I've never met a white South African who didn't have a worrying hatred for black people.
(Although kidding around, tis the truth though)
Welcome, though right now South Africa is probably where many English people would rather be (or at least in 33 days time)
Ahhh durk-a-durka-durrrrr!!!!!!!!!

Strange, I never met a white Saffa that wasn't as racist as your local Brit. I say this sincere. I think because of their history, they're perhaps a bit more careful to let in all hang out.
Yea, it actually is easy. It just takes time. I work with enough and have written enough letter of employments for foreign colleagues to know.

What an utterly predjudice thing to say!! I am, and know many white saffers that judge every person they meet as an individual - perhaps you should do the same.
Anyway congrats on becoming british - you'll have to start drinking warm beer instead of cold lager now - its the law.
Congratulations, citizen of this fair land of ours.
You mean subject not citizen
No, he means citizen.
On 1 January 1983, upon the coming into force of the British Nationality Act 1981, every Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies became either a British Citizen, British Dependent Territories Citizen or British Overseas Citizen.
The use of the term "British subject" was discontinued for all persons who fell into these categories, or who had a national citizenship of any other part of the Commonwealth. The category of "British subjects" now includes only those people formerly known as "British subjects without citizenship", and no other. In statutes passed before 1 January 1983, however, references to "British subjects" continue to be read as if they referred to "Commonwealth citizens".
British citizens are not British subjects under the 1981 Act. The only circumstance where a person may be both a British subject and British citizen simultaneously is a case where a British subject connected with Ireland (s. 31 of the 1981 Act) acquires British citizenship by naturalisation or registration. In this case only, British subject status is not lost upon acquiring British citizenship.
The status of British subject cannot now be transmitted by descent, and will become extinct when all existing British subjects are dead.

OP has British citizenship and is therefore not a subject.
