Richard Bridge says:

"Going to live in Australia when I was 3 (for 3 years) did not make me Australian. Doing a "stage" in Alsace did not make me French. A cuckoo does not become a tit because it hatches in a tit's nest."

right...so no one coming to live in England, no matter how long they are here, is ever really going to be part of the culture? And my daughter, because half her genes are not "hardwired" to be English, will never really be as English as you, despite being born and raised here? She's the cuckoo in the nest, is she?


"and no matter how many alarm clocks I wire up as timers it will not make me Irish"

Nice overtly racist touch there as your finishing flourish.
