Ok. A couple of hundred years?

Billy Connolly thought he was Scottish but turns out his ancestors were Indian, and even since the last British monarch was foreign.

Knockabout fun but in reality you can't demonstrate Britishness more than referring to the Royal family. A sizeable percentage of British people can't go back as far as they can. Mind you, I was recently amused by finding my Mum's side came over in 1066 and have a coat of arms etc and a square in Kensington named after one of them that was an MP. My Dad's side appear to be Scottish farm workers going back a couple of hundred years but other than a liking for haggis, I couldn't or wouldn't consider myself Scottish!
