God Save the Queen...
Tis my alternate national anthem now! What? I hear you say... yes... I now officially have two national anthems.
Went to the Surrey County Hall today to voice my affirmation of allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second and give my loyalty to the United Kingdom!
There were about thirty of us from round the world, and for those cynics out there I was not the only caucasion outside of Europe! We all sat in the great hall (a beautiful stained glass window of Saint George killing the Dragon) sipping tea whilst we all were checked in and counted. Then it was off to another smaller hall to say our words, shake hands with a Surrey Councillor (unfortunately Queen Elizabeth had a prior engagement), have our picture and certificate of British Citizenship taken and once signed the register I was deemed British.
Now I just have to fill in the passport form, pay out more money and then I can go anywhere in the EU and not worry about a visa!
I guess you could say that with both New Zealand and British citizenship the world is pretty much my oyster!
