How do people in Jersey identificate themselves?

Posted in Jersey forum 28 Sep 2010, 09:34

I was wondering, how do people in Jersey identificate themselves in terms of nationality? Do you consider yourself British? Or Normanic? Or French?

I am aware that people from Jersey are not English, so I was interested in the perception of the Jersey identity.

  I am writing you from Hungary. I would like to ask what job opportunities are with you, whether it is possible to go to the wonderful island to work?

  Most 'beans' for ease will consider themselves a Brit.
  We follow more of the same traditions in modern-day life however islanders do still remember theír historical French connections, not to mention dining the refined French way.
  Im a Jersey boy and consider myself more a brit than a Frenchman. Cant speak the langauge to start :O

  Hope this helps.

  Paul.
