[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by M636C</i> <br />Britain refers to the United Kingdom, consisting of England, Scotland, Wales and five counties in Northern Ireland. The flag, the "Union Jack" consists of superimposing the red square cross of England, the white diagonal cross of Scotland (on blue) and the red diagonal cross of Wales. Northern Ireland misses out, as usual. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Couldn't the UK at least make the Union Jack with a green background for us poor ol' Eirelanders? I guess adding a four leaf clover is right out! <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <br />If you are talking about the the English, you are referring only to people from south of Carlisle and east of the Severn river (more or less - my geography isn't that good, and for simplicity I'm ignoring Cornwall which isn't really English either) <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />So is Cornwall the British equivalent of our Rio Linda? <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <br /> <br />In the UK, a similar problem exists in that they believe all Americans are "Yankees" while most people realise this term is limited to the North East of the USA. <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Actually, them Northeasterners are a bunch of Tories who still wi***hey were subject to the Crown. How else can one explain Ted Kennedy, Jim Jeffers, and Hillary Clinton, et al?
