Lanky Mongrel. Both parents from Lancashire. One grandmother from Scouseland, Toxteth and an Evans to boot and christened Maria Lysette (French Connection). One grandfather from Gloucestershire. And a great great grandmother who was from Malta.
And if anybody tied me down I would have to admit that I was a pure bred Hooligan.

Oh yes. And an English Asylum Seeker to boot.

I am a third generation Kiwi (all 4 of my grandparents were born in NZ), however my ancestry is of English, Scots and French origins.

Maternal grandparents descended from Scottish border folk and well to do Salford drapers - my Great Grandfather was cast out from the fold - the black sheep of the family.

Paternally descended from Shropshire agricultural labourers and shoe makers.

Father settled here after being billeted near M/Cr airport during WW2, where he met me Mam.

I consider myself a citizen (not subject) of Britain, and that includes Scotland and Wales. Some might have different ideas but I consider it my right to settle anywhere on this island. No-one can be truly sure of where they have come from, though I can say with certaintly where I am going, eventually.

I am from England.

Then I can claim duel countyship with Lancashire and Cumbria when it suits me. I was born in Ulverston which became a part of Cumbria in 1972. To narrow it down further, I am from 'South Ulverston' which is not in the South of the Town but the East.

My wife is Scottish, who thinks that marrying a Scot gives Englishmen their Scottish residency rights. I just think that I am taking advantage of laxidazical immigration rules.

But if the pitchfork mob are seen heading my way then I'll get the message
