I was surprised to read that In Germany, just 25 per cent of people said they felt ‘only German’ and not European, and 36 per cent of people in France feel ‘only French’.
Foot note:
Yes that Union Flag in the photograph is upside down.

I cannot understand how anyone would feel 'European' - since everyone is born in a specific country, and that is the definition of their nationality.
As an island race, we are surely even less aligned to our mainland neighbours, despite the insistence of politicians and business leaders to convince that we are all one big happy family.

I feel a Londoner.
Evidenced by the fact that when I'm on holiday, if I'm asked, "where are you from?" I always answer London.
This is normally because in Europe, because of my accent, I'm often mistaken as American (apparently the south London accent is, to certain ears) similar to the accents you hear in New York, I'm told).
I don't 'feel' European.
