Depends on if you count nationality as where you were born and lived or what your parents are.
I was born in England but my mum's Scottish and my dad's half Scottish half English.
So i'm either English or 3/4 Scottish 1/4 English...but live in Australia.

The clue to my nationality is in my login name...!
That said, I do refer to myself as a Brit, but I cannot "offically" call myself English...crazy, but true...on any formal application over here, you are expected to write down "British"...
As far as I can trace my lineage, all my forebears originated around the South Eastern part of the country...

My grandparents on my mum's side are welsh but I was born in Wolverhampton in the West Midlands.

My mom was born and raised in Puerto Rico until she came north to work as "Rosie the Riveter" during the war and marry my dad, who was in Europe for the invasion of Normandy. His grandfather came to the US from Germany to avoid being drafted into the German army. My dad's mother's family was from Alssace-Lorraine. They came after the Franco-Prussian war because they didn't want to be German (France lost that province).
