    Just had to renew my library ticket and they had to ask me, amongst other questions, my ethnic origin.
    What the fk that's got to do with borrowing books I don't know.
    Anyroad I said English, and woman said english not on computer.
    British yes, but not English.
    I insisted that I was english and that there were about 55 million others like me. Still no go.
    So I ended up saying "other" so she could put summat in.
    What a fkin condemnation, what an insult, what a pathetic level we've been made to stoop to.
    I'M ENGLISH for gods sake.

    Actually

    You're British. You'll have a 'British' passport, not 'English'.

    Maintain the Union.

    I was always told not to put English, but to put British, on job application forms
