I am definitely English! You probably like to be known as Canadians rather than North Americans as the only other definition I can think of.
My father was Welsh and my first husband was Scottish (a Scot - never say Scotch as that is the drink) and they also distinguished against being British. My husband now is of pure Polish blood but was born in England and he also feels strongly that if he can't call himself Polish then he is also English.
PS I have very good teeth!
