I think, Alex, that you'd better get a piece of tailwag's paper, sit in a quiet room and have a think.
There are too many grey areas, old son. If you said someone who fought against Australia then you might have my sympathy. I am English by birth, though I have lived in this country for 50 odd years, and am still rated as a 'permanent resident'. Even though my wife is Australian and my children also, I haven't bothered with Australian citizenship. I rather like this country so my decision has come down to finances - last time I looked it was about $155 + a few hours of travel on a few occasions - and, of course, being a lazy and impecunious old phart I simply couldn't care less. I reckon that I'm as good an Aussie as any other person born here - except of course when the Ashes series is under way.
My father-in-law was seconded to the RAF during WWII. He flew out of (and trained new pilots at) Scapa Flow. Where would that place him?
