Picking up on Jack Wilshire's comment during the week, what do the Exeweb massive think, is he right or wrong?
For me, he's spot on. Living here for 'x' years doesn't make you English. You need to be born and bred here or be of parental heritage. For example, my Father in law has lived in Zimbabwe for 40 years now but he still sees himself as, and I'm quoting him here, a detribalised Jock. In all that time, he's been back to Britain a couple of times but he will never see himself as a Zimbabwean and still maintains his British passport.
