    I'm assuming we mean British descent as opposed to British decent...

    Are not we all probably of Ethopian descent?

    It depends how far you go back.

    I would consider myself British, but I have a Great Granny who was Maltese, and one of my Great, Great Grandmothers was apparently Egyptian...

    I am guessing thus I am at best 13/16ths British. But I have a Scottish side to my family, (My Dad's dad) which being Catholic, probably leads to Irish blood...
