I love being German, it makes me feel unique, I know after Brexit there is anti EU sentiment but I LOVE being from Germany!

Another 'wind 'em up and watch 'em go' thread but a non returning name changer.

I'm proud to be English

I'm German too, but the only other Germans I know are my family. I love being German but there is a lot of miseducation where I live which has lead to a lot of anti German sentiment. It has made me cautious about who I tell but im so proud of my heritage and there's no shame in that

YANBU. I’m proud of my nationalities too 😊

I really like Germany - I like the people, food, drink etc and just generally find it very cultured and civilised 😊

Oh and gorgeous mountains and countryside too!!

Not that strong an entry, tbh.

YANBU I think everything sounds much more important with a German accent

I also love being Scottish

I love the umlaut.

I was born in Britain but can’t say I am British.

I don’t really have a nationality to be proud of as my family are from North Africa, Italy, Central Europe and West Indies and Welsh. I have a gf who said he was British but was more Greek than British

they all enjoy digging holes on the beach. They also have absolutely no idea how much the Dutch here hate them. Poor Germans.

I wouldn't bet on it - they probably just hate them right back. It's mayhem here when they play The Netherlands at football.

Also: i have loads and loads of people who have commiserated me on Brexit, ask if the country went mad, etc etc. A couple of people I've spoken to recently, who i don't know personally (via work things) have asked me if I'm ok for Brexit or if they can help me in some way.

Am annoyed though. When i was applying for citizenship they promised me a better footy team. Then the world cup happened...
