Is it just me

[Milo]

I had to fill out a form at the post office today. Name, address, d.o.b, age, and nationality. So i put English as i am, was told i could not put English but had to put British.
Under the list of nationalities was Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Bangladesh, Pakistani, Afro Caribbean, Indian etc. My point is i`m English as a nationality not British as British covers English, Welsh, and Scottish.
So i changed it to Bangladesh .
Don`t you just love red tape. Or is this post racist, just cant keep up with modern liberal thinking.

[essex sucks]

I wouldnt say you're being racist at all,. We had this conversation a youth club the other day and there is some thing where in some instances you're from 'great britain' and other times the 'UK' and other times 'english'. I really cant remember the finer details of why but it goes back into ye old legal statutes and stuff

[Big Man]

For the purposes of government forms etc if i remember it correctly you're either British-English, British-Welsh, British-Scottish or British-Irish. Or Bangladeshi obviously.

Yeah the red tape and bureaucracy in this country is way out of hand.

Nope your not racist at all.

Don't you just know that the Welsh and Scottish assemblies will soon pass a bill for a bank holiday on there national saints day and us English won't get one for ours.

I love the brick walls I have to deal with every time I need a new passport or driving licence... Have to present both my Dutch and British birth certificates and my local school records.

Put a passport application in this week for a new British passport, and cos we don't have a Dutch consul over here everything has to go through the Rotterdam Stadhuis that I was registered at, meaning I won't get my new passport for about 8 weeks.

Both my Dutch and British passports are out of date, and cos of the lack of consul situation, I have to wait for my British one to come before I can get my Dutch one sorted out as that one has to be done in Holland.

Buggers up the holiday plans somewhat, but atleast I'll get a long weekend in Holland to sort the passport out
