Poll question: What's your current nationality?
I'm not looking for where you were born - Mel Gibson was born in America, grew up in Australia, eventually moved back to America. Terry Gilliam was born in America, but his heart belonged to the UK - and Monty Python. Where do you live now, DUers?

1. A British citizen, and at heart an Englishman.
Lived here my whole life, and I can't imagine living anywhere else.

3. Is it 1513 or 1413 GMT where you are?
Daylight Savings Time is a mixed blessing for us rebel colonials...

4. 1520 now
We switched to B.S.T. (British Summer Time - what we call daylight saving) a week before you changed (I'm only just adjusting to it now).

I think that I speak for most Brits in saying that we're close to forgiving the nastiness of 1776, and a slight gesture of goodwill from America would finally seal this forgiveness. So all you have to do is take Blair, and stick him in Guantanamo Bay, and it will all be water under the bridge.
