Where and what time did this slagging off start?It took less than two pages of the St George’s Day thread for it to become a slagging off St Patrick’s Day thread. Like clockwork, can set you watch by them
Happens to every family when the old ones go. My tree is Scottish Highlands one side and on the other Irish Catholic/Northern Irish Protestant. My great grandmother/ father came from Ireland about the same time as your family. I try to keep all the knowledge and make my own sons aware of it. I have Unionist/Protestant distant relations still there that I would love to meet them.My grandfather came to Manchester in 1900. A brother went to US and another stayed. The link to Scotland was broken long before.
We are all English now. Scotland and Ireland are just part of our history dimming now the last of my dads nine siblings died. A shame because my aunt was the one who knew all the history.
Interesting and l am sure we could discuss over a pont but which of those various parts of your history made you come into an English forum onto a St George's thread to cause trouble. Would you go into a crowded English pub and shout something out to annoy/irritate/offend strangers?Happens to every family when the old ones go.

I will let you into a secret, don't tell anybody. I was born in England. My dad was working there and my mum was booked to travel home 10 days before my appearance. Complications meant she couldn't travel, so in my passport is the name of the English city I was born. Because of this I have always liked England as a kid and as I grew older my travels there reinforced this. I love the people and the place. I even want you to do well in Tournaments, but hate the commentators. I also don't overestimate how good they are, as most of my English pals do. So, I looked in here to see how people felt about the St Day. Mind, don't tell anybody.Interesting and l am sure we could discuss over a pont but which of those various parts of your history made you come into an English forum onto a St George's thread to cause trouble.

I filled my own form in and wrote Female White English. No one said a word!! Was yours at the doctors/hospital or one of the vaccine centres? :-)Went for my second Covid jab yesterday, the receptionist was form filling, she looked up an said "Male, White, British?" I replied "I prefer English". She informed me that "English" was not a valid option.
