Ugh, harsh dude. :( Is that the 1983 crazy law changes they enacted? That's also when they decided that even if you were born in the UK, unless your parents were citizens/habitually resident you were no longer automatically a citizen and a bunch of other crap. Actually, I was born after that date and would have been okay anyway since my dad was the british one but had my mother been the british one and had I been born before 1982, I wouldn't have been british either. WEIRDNESS ABOUNDS. ;)

Seriously I should just up sticks and try to be Canadian!
