When living here in the U.K do you feel that your part of the British culture? Or do you long to go back home, wherever home may be?

you only part of british cultcure then you running for them or draped in the flag cooning out.

first time I ever went Jamaica (home) I felt more at home in the lil section where my family come from then I have ever felt in england it was surreal

to actually feel liike you belong in a place is a great feeling...at that made me realise that I never felt that way over here...people always remind you in one way or another that your a guest here..be it directly or indirectly

I could not agree more. I have never classed this country as my own and never will feel part of the "British culture"

Big L - Good q's.

I am more English than British.

Heritage is more Nigerian than Jamaican. I am Proud to be of Nigerian Descent, neutral of being of Jamaican descent and take as much advantage as I can of being English.

Overall I am who I am:

in the words of Goethe's Faust:

"you are who you are....."

I speak english and I like fish n chips so I guess I am pretty British.

i dont feel british. dont think i ever will.

my younger years was in the states i completed my edcuation and all in the uk. i was born here to 2 jamaican parents and have hubs who is jamaican. i would most definitly naviagte towards someone whose culture is like mine. cant be with the explaning

i have always felt that we are not wanted here. i didnt ask to come here my parents and grandparents were begged/asked to come here and they did. so im here just deal with it

for all the ish in the states i felt more welcome there although because of birth could never be president.

i dont feel British.....although i love a good drink now and then(howeveri dont end up on the floor cant remember where i am who i am..none of that)

Britishness to me is full of slackness the kind of lifestyles my jamaican parents my african friends my black community have always told me is not good for your soul

To me , the british life is WORK WORK WORK ! 11 months of RAIN RAIN, COLD COLD, AND NO SUN, and DRINK DRINK DRINK ... THAT IS ALL IT IS, AND OBSESSED FOOTBALL FANS ! Why have that when I could have 12 months of sun, beach, good home grown food, and beautifulrelaxed people.

Do i feel British

Not as much as the indigenous white man, however to a degreei cannont deny who i have become. Ive been born and breed here in as much as even though my roots are African and West Indian, sadly i could tell you more about Britain..Naturally.

I like these words Dada has used earlier.

"and take as much advantage as I can of being English".

Thats basically how ive always felt about living here. I cannont change history so i might as well get out of the situation as much as i can.

Never really felt at home in Britain being a somali, although i have many chances in life i wouldn't in many places in the world. But then i never feel truly at home when i go back home.
