Which Country do you say you live in?
On forms.Why do people put UK? I always put England.
I'm probably being really thick but the UK is a collection of countries:wonder: . It's like the citizen thing.I know I am a citizen of the Uk so fine if they ask that. Anyone else stumble on the question? What do you put? |
I put Holland, as I live in Holland...... but when I lived in England I put England
|
i always put England
|
United Kingdom... that's what it says on my passport
|
Do you have an English passport? Or is it a UK passport? Are you living in the UK, or England, or Great Britain, or the British Isles, or all of them?
The UK is 4 countries, whiles GB is 3. The British Isles is 5. FFS, devolution for all. :D |
we obviously need to all agree on a suitable reference ...

Have fun with this at US immigration on my many trips.
The i94 form has two boxes related to this: "country of citzenship" which I always put United Kingdom & "country where you live" for which I always put England. Technically, that is correct- my passport is issued by the united kingdom (of great britain and northern ireland) but I live in england... For some reason, a percentage of immigration officers don't like you putting england for the second one... and cross it out and put Uk and give some abuse about it.. very strange. Had to argue th point with one of them once when he asked me about it- he couldn't grasp the concept that the Uk was made up of several different countries, and hadn't even heard of Wales. |

nations, not countries
my boss is welsh and he agrees, the UK is our country and wales is a nation. I'm not that patriotic, so I don't mind referencing it properly as United Kingdom and British, just like in our passports ;) |
I'm an English British Citizen living in the UK :thumb: I can't remember what I usually put, whatever seems appropriate at the time :D
|
I was born in and live in Northern Ireland and I am British
<------ See windyboy |
Similar issue: what race are you? And one of the possible answers is white :confused:

"Englandshire" :wonder:

I put Britain, it keeps things easy. Just waiting for the day I can use Europe :D |
Wales, but whenever I state my nationality I always say British.
|
Scotland.
The UK/GB is not a country. Technically or otherwise (irrespective of what the media would have you believe). My Nationality is Scottish. British is not technically a nationality, it is a reference to the people of Great Britain (or the Commonwealth of Nations) I am a citizen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, or the UK for short |
I'm British but live in Japan.
However, I am English ahead of being British. :) |
Live in Wales.
Nationality is therefore WELSH Chip |

I live in Canada :p :D
The real question here is what nationality/citizenship are you. Citizenship wise I'm a citizen of the United Kingdom, as that is what is on my passport. As for Nationality, my first reaction would be to say British, as in I live (oh, alright, just for the pedants, I mean I used to live :p) in the British Isles, but English/England would also pop up. I do recall putting down England on a form when entering the US and they changed it to UK. |
I say UK when I want anything sent from the USA, otherwise it never gets here :D
