It must be nice to fit into the accent of the land you live in, or the land in which you were born, or the land your parent were from. Unfortunately I don;t have that luxury anywhere on Earth - so what should I claim as my nationality?
You are canadian though mate, that's different.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schengen_Agreement#Signatories_of_the_Decision
The United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland are the only two EU members not to fully implement the Schengen Agreement; Ireland and the UK share a Common Travel Area with no border controls between the two. Ireland is thus unable to join the Schengen Agreement without dissolving this agreement with the UK. However the UK remains reluctant to surrender its own border controls and work permit system. Therefore United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland are signatories of the Council Decision (covering police co-operation) but not the Council Regulations (covering asylum, visas and border controls).

Edit: Palynka already provided a Portuguese link, here's a German one: http://www.britannien.de/Einreise/Einreise.htm#Reise
"Für die Einreise benötigen deutsche und österreichische Staatsbürger den Personalausweis oder Reisepaß."
('To enter [the UK], German and Austrian citizens need a "Personalausweis" (national identity card) or a passport.'😉

I have a plan!
As part of the London Meet we should go here:

and set up a fake stress test outside their building, selling copies of Viz to help relieve people's worries, instead of L Ron Hubbard's literary pap.
