I've never understood why people have this obsession about where one's mother happened to be when she gave birth...
By "foreigners", I meant "those who do not have the British nationality"...
Freddy Mercury was born in Zanzibar; was he British? Tony Blair was born in Edinburgh...
To Yorkshire folk everyone from the 'outside' is a foreigner.
Just can't get a decent cup of tea any wheer else lass.

By the way, the USA is the only place where people don't look at my surname and say 'is that Polish'?
Regrettably I'm 2nd generation and never learned the language, beyond a few pleasantaries.
Speaking it would do me, reading it is too hard.
