Well according to the survey, 95% say it is speaking English, but is it a lot more than that?

/// And, when asked about what makes people ‘truly British’, 95 per cent of the survey’s participants said speaking English was an important factor – up from 85 per cent in 2003. ///

Speaking English is an important factor in being British.

Can't really argue with that.

But Welsh, Scottish, Cornish speakers are no less British if they use their local language.

Putting an England flag on the car for a few days every 4 years.

Then burning it while murmuring ritual chants after the second match.
