Dunno really. I was born in England but half my ancestry is Irish. I've lived in Cornwall for thirty years and in London and Essex for thirteen years before that but my Lancashire accent is completely intact. I love Italy and Spain and the people there and I go to both countries a lot. The stickers on my car are the flag of St Piran and the Indalo symbol of Andalucía. I much prefer Italian wine to English beer, though I was on the tasting panel for Doom Bar for several years. I'm a European at heart and bitterly regret the current disaster besetting us. Oh, the hard times of old England! So I suppose that one attribute of my Englishness is that I'm bloody confused.
