dudevillaisnice Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 No I wasn't taking the piss, I honestly didn't know.. I've never really taken an interest in Geography nor has it come to me as common knowledge either.. I know now though thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CannockVillan Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 The ignorance of some on here amazes me. Great Britain consists of England Scotland and Wales. The United Kingdom is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The Replublic of Ireland is neither part of Britain nor the UK The Channel Islands and the Isle of man are crown dependancies and not part of the UK.

HolteExile Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Yowzers. Geography not being someone's stong point, fair enough. Knowing the status of your own country and the countries around you? That would be primary school stuff, I'd have thought. Just to really break dudevillaisnice,'s mind: People from Northern Ireland are also officially British subjects - yet they can claim Irish or British citizenship. People from Wales (the Welsh) derive their name from the writer of the same name. Notorious for not paying up on a lost bet, the term 'to Welsh' on a deal has been in common usage from this period. One of these statements may be made up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe today it is.. yes we perhaps looked at a general map.. or maybe we did do it and I perhaps just don't remember it (it is a long time back to be fair) One of these statements may be made up. I'll go for... the first one as made up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
