3: One parent Welsh & you were born in Wales
4: One parent Welsh & you were born in England
5: Neither parent Welsh & you were born in Wales

How did you come to support reading?

[Pearcey3]

How did you come to support reading?

1972 FA Cup tie v Arsenal. Reading lost 2/1 but played really bravely and they became my team. I was only 7 at the time! That's my defence your honour.

I happen to identify with '1.' on that list, but I would say being 'Welsh' is as simple as wanting to be, stating that you are, and having some fairly sensible reason to back it up - if required.
I would consider that person to be as Welsh as I am.

Same criteria out to apply for any other 'nation'.

6: Neither parent Welsh & you were born in England

I can't agree with that 'identify' stuff I'm afraid, as much as I love Wales and have 2 Welsh children myself I still wouldn't call myself Welsh because it's simply not true.

I'm not sure I worded what I meant very well - again ;) , or I have misunderstood what you have posted apparently in response.

Surely you do identify with being from/of somewhere? - presumably England ? And rightly so, if so.

"but I would say being 'Welsh' is as simple as wanting to be" I was talking about that bit, I want lots of things but...

Aye, but the suffix to that was "and having some fairly sensible reason to back it up".
If you are saying that we cannot simply, casually and arbitrarily decide our Nationality - then we are saying the same thing, I think!
