chickenfeet As the Brexit express hurtles towards the abyss I though I'd ask a question that's been bothering me for a while. I'd it as a poll but I can't so please comment. Leaving aside strictly legal definitions (I understand the technical difference between the status of the Isle of Man and Ascension Island) who is "British". Below is a list of territories and what I want you to consider is for which of these should the inhabitants be considered British:
- The Channel Islands
- The Isle of Man
- Northern Ireland
- The Falkland Islands
- Ascension Island
- South Georgia
- St. Helena
- The Pitcairn Islands
- Gibraltar
- Malta
- Hong Kong
- Victoria BC

LA: You wanted to see me sir?
TFC: Yes, Aylard it's about the young prince
LA: Sir?
TFC: Awfully bad form if anything were to happen to the young prince
LA: Yes sir
TFC: In fact Aylard I'd better make myself clear. If anything does happen to the young prince it would be a jolly good idea if you didn't come back either.
LA: I see sir
