The UK is fun for naturalised citizens like myself. Conversations about it usually go like this:

Well-intentioned person taking an interest: "Oh, so you’re an Englishman now?" 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Me: "Well, not quite. After several years living in the UK on a work visa, I’m now a naturalised citizen and British passport holder. So, I guess you could say I’m "British" (sweating profusely)... But I wasn’t born in England, and I’ve lived in Scotland for about as long as I’ve lived in England." 🇬🇧

Person: "Oh, so you’re Scottish then?"

Me: (Considering my options) ... (...) ... "Aye, yer right." 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

My wife is Scottish, she hates being called English and will support any other team in sport apart from England if Scotland get knocked out 😂
