If a dog's born in a barn it doesn't make it a horse.

I'd remove all doubt, I'd check their papers thoroughly and then, just as it seems I'm walking away I'd wish them "Good Luck" and see which language they chose to respond in........

Surely it's whatever your citizenship is?

For example, if you're born in England and emigrate to Australia, you're still English. But if you love the place so much that you feel inclined to become a citizen... then you're both, right?

I regard myself as English/ British, I was born here as were my parents and grandparents, before that all my relatives came from Ireland but I am and always will be English/ British. I could never move to another country and give up my English/ British citizenship and pledge my allegiance to another country.

To me it's simply the country of your birth

Nope.

your nationality is the country you were born in.

Nope.

Exactly.

My brother and sister were both born in Germany. They are not German.
