    Yeah, but I just can't stand it when the temperature is under 10 degrees.

    A whole week of 35+degree days is fine though!

    * celcius, not that silly farenheight stuff.

    Not sure! Erm well, I've a british passport. Parents are irish and french. I was born in spain and am always mistaken for german as that's what i speak most. And the majority of my mates are dutch!
    Take your pick! Any ideas!?
    Yeah man! it's getting used to the extreme temperature changes!
    In the summer, I sweat myself silly on my bike! But that's not really recommended.

    Parents are both Sri Lankan, but we all hold British passports, and are British citizens.

    (I was born here, btw)

    But they asked you your nationality. As laid by various acts of Parliament, there's no such thing as English nationality. You can be English and British, Canadian, Australian... just as there are people who are of Indian origin and who have these same nationalities...

    It's your nationality people :rolleyes:, not your origin or ethnicity. If you're Bangladeshi and born in the UK, you have British nationality unless you apply for Bangladeshi nationality at the embassy or in Bangladesh and even then, I'm not sure that suffices... You have a nationality when you can own a passport of that country for example. You then become a national of that country: you can be a British national and have any kind of ethnic background.

    I have British and French nationalities by the way...own two passports.
