Thank you. I travel a lot and most folk are proud to be whatever nationality they are. It's only the English who seem to be a bit sheepish about it

I can see the way this thread is going though it's so predictable!
Personally I'm not too arsed, if anything I'd rather be known as Mancunian as opposed to English or British or European.
Manchester or the world or maybe just 'is'

Not at all. It's a geographical fact.
I'm a mancunian, a northerner, English, British, European and a resident of planet earth.

I couldn't give a flying fuck what people call me.
I'm off to Ireland next week, I think I'll pretend I'm French.

I don't mind being described as a European if the context is global and all that's required is a continent description.
What REALLY bugs me is when anything asks my country and gives options - with UK rather than England. My COUNTRY is England. If the question requires a free-text answer, I always reply "England" not "UK".
I am English and proud of it. Why should I have to keep losing my nationality? I am pretty sure many Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish people feel the same. There's nothing wrong with being proud of your own country, provided it is tempered with a mutual respect for other people's right to be proud of their own.
