I was surprised to read that In Germany, just 25 per cent of people said they felt ‘only German’ and not European, and 36 per cent of people in France feel ‘only French’.
Foot note:
Yes that Union Flag in the photograph is upside down.

/// why should the place you live in mean something to you? to me its just the place i'm currently living in.. ///
You wouldn't say that if you happened to get into some kind of difficulty abroad, you would soon be 'flying off' to the British Embassy, demanding your rights as a British citizen.

i was talking about the town/county especially as in the town i live in, means very little to me, other than the place currently i reside
but you're right if i did get into trouble abroad and i needed the help of the british embassy i would ask for it - not demand as you put it - as my right as a resident and a tax payer
it doesn't change the fact that i do not identify myself as particularly english or british, this question is about roots and my roots are not deeply mired in britain, or anywhere really

Regarding your post of 11:19.
I might be grabbing the wrong end of the stick, but if I'm on holiday and someone in a bar asks me where I'm from, it's not rude.
However, if I'm in a bar in London and someone from the UK asks me where I'm from and I answer "London", and then they follow up with "No, I mean originall." then I tend to roll my eyes and find someone else to talk to.
But then - that hasn't happened for absolute years.
Oh, and whenever I'm in California, the locals hear my accent and assume I'm from Australia.
Apparently to some Americans, the London accent and the Australian accent are 'interchangeable'.
