The fact it’s Saltney and Broughton isn’t particularly surprising. They’re so close to England that Saltney is a suburb of Chester, and historically the area has been part of Cheshire and Mercia.
Maybe the fact it’s actually in Wales means the inhabitants are particularly keen to stress their Englishness, whereas over the border it isn’t as much of an issue?
Can we do swapsies?
This has more to do with the way the question was asked than anything else.
In England, “British” was at the top of the multiple-choice list.
In Wales, it was down the bottom, below “English”.
So in England, English people saw “British” first, and ticked that box. Meanwhile, in Saltney, English people saw “English” first, and ticked that box. Speaks to the fact that, for most English people, they are practically synonyms.
Yeah, there are lots of English people on the outskirts of Chester – what a surprise. No, it isn’t the most English place that ever Englished.
