Now you cant even be British

[ajstoneservices]

My eldest daughter works part time for a large retail business where today she had to fill out a form. Amongst other things it asked her ethnicity

Are you
White European
Pakistani
Indian
African
endless list

Long gone are the English with the British to follow soon.

That really does take the biscuit doesn't it Is this large retail business British or foreign?

Where I used to work, every time I filled out my CRB form, I would put my nationality as English and, every time, my boss would cross it out and put British which annoyed me 'cos just about anyone can be British these days.

If the same logic is applied, do Swedish people for example have to put Scandinavian as their nationality rather than Swedish does anyone know??

The company is British, sorry European.Started in London in the 80's.

I always write English on any form asking my nationality, using other if I have to.
my daughter was told that she must not write British as some had got into trouble for doing so. She said to her boss "my passport is a legal document, it claims I'm a British citizen" that's what I'm writing
