Britain is actually England and Wales
Great Britain is England and Wales WITH Scotland (So does Scotland make britain GREAT ??)
UK is Great Britain and N.Ireland possibly with Shetlands and Orkney...but not forgetting Isle of Wright.
It does get worse, but then I might confuse the US completely
LMAO! And you fools wonder why we get so farkin confused... I am trying to imagine what would happen if New York was arranged in a similar manner with each combination of the 5 borroughs having its own name, eg: Manhattan by itself = Manhattan Brooklyn by itself = Brooklyn Staten Island by itself = Staten Island Queens by itself = Queens The bronx by itself = The Bronx Brooklyn & Manhattan = twin cities Queens & manhattan = The inner strip Bronx & Manhattan = Divided by pee (the body of water which separates them basically is a tiny stream of piss) Queens & Brooklyn = "The island" (part of the same land mass, also long island is part of this too) etc etc etc. There are 5 factorial combinations (5*4*3*2 = 120!), and thats just with 5! With UK you have less names, but for someone not immersed in the culture, you can see the root of the problem ;) _________________________________________________________________ MSN 8 with e-mail virus protection service: 2 months FREE* http://join.msn.com/?page=features/virus
