How do you say ... ?

[Randi]

A Happy 4th July to you, too! As you know, John was born in England, but lived and worked in Germany, France and Denmark from he was 21 (in that order) until he died. In all these years, he kept his British citizenship and he was proud of it. He would always say to people who asked: "I'm British". In Denmark he got a lifelong permit of residence. However, he was not allowed to vote, neither here nor in England. He could vote at the Municipal elections, though.

Btw, by saying "I am a citizen of the United States?" doesn't neccesarily mean you're American, you could be Norwegian and live in the US.
