I am now British (as well)

No longer will I be known merely as "that Canadian fellow". I am now a British citizen (as well).

The ceremony was, shall we say, a little "low key". No portrait of Her Majesty adorned the wall, nor was there a Union Jack anywhere in evidence in the room. It had all the taste of a 1960s-era Soviet wedding but, nonetheless, at the end of the service I was a citizen of the United Kingdom - having taken all the necessary oaths.

My family and the in-laws came to cheer me on.

Congratulations!

So tell us about the UK. I gather you have to learn stuff that we Brits know nothing about.

ROTFL

But perhaps I'm being over-cynical.

Welcome to the gang, anyway.

Congratulations! How odd that there was no sign of the country in the room!
