If you were (or have been) any good at any sport which country could you represent?
The old man came from Germany and my Gran came from Poland, so theoretically I could play for either these teams, has anybody else on here got some foreign blood in em'?

My Father was about 1/4 Welsh. but my Mother was English, so Im about 98% English.
I did go down for trials at Yeovil after leaving school, but I came back halfway to take up a job as I didnt think I could make it.

My Mum is Belgian, which explains my love of beer, chips (with mayo) and chocolate.
While in the RAF I played football for 'Ireland', thanks to my great grandad being from Queens County. We won the 4 nations as well and pleasure in stuffing an extremely arrogant English XI.

Have been in a British Universities ex-students representative team for 10-Pin bowling - one of two girlies. Have dual Welsh/English qualifications (as do the boys, much to Mr S&R's distaste!). Represented as Welsh when I won the UK closed and open titles at a different sport - and no I won't tell you for fear of mocking! Although he won't admit it, Mr S&R probably is dual English/Welsh too!

Perhaps your part of backcrawl relay team...I think I'm clutching at straws here!!!
Murray's suggestion sounds spot on though.
