How many Brits do we have here?

**TonyJones** · February 13th, 2013, 05:05 AM

Hello there!

I was just wondering how many British members there are on here. Or, if you prefer, if there were any Welsh, Scottish, Irish or English

I'm from mid Wales, and my local(ish) shop is in Shrewsbury where I go to have a look around and get my itch.

Where are you from?

DanielCoffey here is British... there are probably many more that I'm forgetting...

Erm, I don't live in the UK but I travel under a British passport, does that count?

**TonyJones** · February 13th, 2013, 11:20 AM

Not sure if it counts, but sounds very intriguing! Do tell

**caribbean_skye** · February 13th, 2013, 11:22 AM

Grew up in a country where we (now) have a non-reciprocal citizenship agreement with the UK. When that came into affect I jumped on it.

Makes traveling quite a bit easier.

So you can have an American and British passport but I'm stuck with a British one?

**caribbean_skye** · February 13th, 2013, 01:03 PM

Don't have an American one. Technically I can carry 3 passports (none is American however) but I only have 2.

**TonyJones** · February 13th, 2013, 01:28 PM

This confuses me... lol.

Shhhhh. Secret agent type stuff seems to be happening here.

*winks conspiratorially at KI*

Here's another edge-case: I live in the UK but am a citizen of another country (Austria). Do I count in your fountain pen census? :-)
Just for the sake of completeness, I am in the West Country, in the Exeter area to be precise.

Well, uncomplicatedly, I'm from, and live in Cheshire, UK.

Just a dog, although a dog that's very fond of tuna (and cheese).

FP_GaF, what brought you over to the West Country from Austria?

John, what part of Cheshire? I used to live on the Flintshire/Cheshire border.

Oh, quite simply my job. I am a scientist and there is an internationally renowned institution that is located in Exeter. That's why I'm here.

Oooh, I love science! What do you do? I have a friend studying theoretical physics in Durham University.

I always wished I'd gone down the university route as an engineer, but I never applied myself well enough when I was younger.
