We are not British Citizens. Nobody is (except maybe the queen). We are British Subjects.

True, so easy to get 'lost' in the country and/or legal system once you are here.

You'd better tell that to the UK Border Agency:

No. My passport clearly says "British Citizen".
The old stiff blue ones used "British Subject".

Showing my age. It appears that I was wrong. It all changed in 1983, when the term "British Subject" was discontinued as the British Nationality Act 1981 came into force. I'm sorry for my ignorance and misplaced assertion on this subject.

Carry on.
