Poll: British, English, Sussex or don't care?

[Eeyore]

Apply the litmus test, eg.
If you were in a foreign country and someone asked you where are you from, how would you answer?
a) Brighton
b) Sussex
c) England
d) Great Britain [I'm British]
e) UK
f) Europe

If you were somewhere in the UK and someone asked you where are you from, how would you answer?
a) Moulsecoomb / Roedean [ie district of Brighton]
b) Brighton
c) Sussex
d) England
e) Great Britain [I'm British]

My take on "proud" is that you will use the location that you would like to portray yourself as from that you believe will show you in a positive light.

I'm sure there are some people who are the opposite of proud [ashamed?] of where they are from and will avoid mentioning the location at all costs.

Just an angle, like .....

Good observation.

I would instinctively say UK to the first and Brighton to the second. But I wonder whether that would be to give them a better understanding of my origins rather than my own thoughts on the issue. That said, I'm always very happy telling people I'm from Brighton. I love my town.
