"Smokey seems genuinely unaware that, born here, I AM a repatriate, who sees himself as English rather than British"

I'm not unaware of that WaV, I seem to have read it quite a lot. My point was that you emigrated from here to Australia, presumably because of some perceived advantage in doing that, and then moved back here again, also because you saw some benefit in doing so. It doesn't matter a chicken's nipple what you call yourself or how you see yourself - it doesn't change what you did. We have a saying round here: 'What's good for the goose is good for the gander'. Or are you saying it's ok for foreigners to emigrate here for fifteen years and then emigrate back to their countries of origin? (Perhaps even with a messianic intent to rescue their beloved culture from the evils of impure influences?)
