Forgive my ignorance, but could someone give me a brief geography lesson and explain the difference between the United Kingdom and England? For that matter, where does Brittan fit in there? I've always lumped them all into the same basket in my own head, but I'm sure that's like someone asking me if I know their cousin Joe from Canada. -Sparky |

'The United Kingdom of Great Britain' comprises of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland - England being the best bit of course. Plus some smaller islands. UK, United Kingdom, Britain and Great Britain essentially all mean the same thing. |

Hi, Nope that is not correct. Great Britain is an island that comprises of Scotland, England and Wales, and a load of little bits here and there. United Kingdom refers to Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Shame when a South African has put it right. :lol: :lol: :lol: :beer: DaveH |
