Whereabouts in England do you come from?

[Vasconcelos]

Portugal, we nearly used to be an English "colony" after the Napoleonic Wars. Does that count?

Thought that was just Madeira and the Azores. Yeah, you can be a "Honorary Englishman" then

I'm from Cheshire, its between the Welsh Marches and the Peak District. My ancestry hails from Kent, Lincolnshire and Cheshire in England and until recently my family farmed here for generations (By recently I mean 40 years ago ).

Ere's me;

LANCASHIRE

My Grandad's from Northumberland, though, but I just selected the one option.

Mark me down for Scouser Town aka Liverpool. Me Da's Mam came from there!

Where's Merseyside in your list then?

No.... Calm down Osweo.... BREEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAATHE.............



You know she only does it to try and get my blood pressure up...

Lancashire.

Yep, we despise Scouse Scum, us Mancs, but they're still family!

Aem's Gran was just some filthy bog-trotting potato-muncher who was just passing through, though, no Aem?

Props for including Westmoreland. Do people still remember that that used to be a real county?

Oh certainly! Appleby residents are mortified if you don't put the name in full as Appleby in Westmorland!

Bloody government boundary changes.

Best to ignore them and carry on as though the 'reforms' never happened. They were passed off at the time as 'only for postal purposes', but the new bodies have put loads of money and effort into persuading people of their 'legitimacy', to the extent that kids don't even know they're Lancastrians....

I live in Gloucestershire, from the records i have unearthed my family have lived here from the early 1800s, my surname is unique in the fact it only comes from one place in the British isles, and that place is Lancashire...

Aye, us Lancastrians do our best to populate the wild wastes of the West Country. Just today, coincidentally, we had a surveyor round to the house, from Bristol, but with a rare Lancastrian surname - Heaphy.

You seem to have forgotten Cornwall.

You seem to have forgotten Cornwall.

Nope! I still know where it is.

[Wulfhere]

Nope! I still know where it is.

And yet you have removed it from your map of England.

[Beorn]

And yet you have removed it from your map of England.

I've not removed it. Before your eyes is a map of England without the nations of Wales, Cornwall and Scotland ... or the Isle of Mann for that matter.

Cornwall is part of England.

[Beorn]

Cornwall is part of England.

No, you've lost me I'm afraid. England is England. We're surrounded by other nations: Wales, Cornwall, Scotland, Isle of Mann, etc... but none of them are part of England. Perhaps you're equating England with Britain? A lot of people tend to do that.

Have I really lost you? Are you really that dumb?

Cornwall is part of England. This is true, even if a lot of people don't like that fact.
