II'm amazed at how many people here say English isn't thier first language and presumably thier heritage isn't either. How fascinating, in my stunning and vast ignorance I'd assumed that most people here would be from the UK, how international are we as a group of users? By the way I think multinationalism and multiculturalism are great, so I'm not trying to make anyone uncomfortable or unwelcome.
I'm English and have the usual English problems with language, I can be dyslexic in as many languages as you want to try me with, including English. I recently had my DNA tested with an ancestry site as I was researching my family history and found that I'm 84% southern English, which is apparently quite rare, most British people are a mix of Saxon, Irish and Scandi genes, so it looks like my families have been knocking about the place for hundreds of years.
Scouse and proud!
I'm from the West Midlands. My accent is quite generalised.
I've never had an accent barrier with anyone, but I have had a "not speaking loud/clearly enough" barrier.
I’m from the midlands in the uk but I’m of Irish descent. I have family around Country Limerick.
I’m 100% Irish born and proudly hold an Irish passport, my home County is Meath in Rural Ireland and aside from living 3 years in Dublin, I’ve lived in Manchester U.K. since 2002
I'm a mix of English (with a bit of Welsh) and Irish. My earliest reliably traced ancestor was born in South Lancashire in 1578.
Borders.
I moved to Cumbria when I was a child.
Hello
I'm from the UK
I'm Irish, born and raised in Ireland. A lot of us here talk in Irish as it's what we grew up with but a lot of people aren't familiar with the Irish language anymore. I like how we're all from different places it's very interesting.
Star Dust. Don't forget to take a towel!
