Re: The concept of Britishness.
I got 2 incorrect answers. But the question,'what constitutes Britishness' bega the question. What constitutes an Englishman, or for thta matter an Australian or any other nationality. You may not be born there but can become a citizen and obtain the same rights and a passport. But does that make you british or Australian or a Kiwi for that matter. It is all amtter of conjecture, you are what you believe you are no matter where you were born. There are many here in Oz who consider themselves to be more australian than British though born in UK. No doubt there rae migrants in Uk who feel the same. But in todays society just who is whom.


Happy daze John in Oz.
