This might be useful....... it's all my own work honest !!
Great Britain is the largest island of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Politically, Great Britain also refers to England, Scotland and Wales in combination, and therefore also includes a number of outlying islands such as the Isle of Wight, Anglesey, the Isles of Scilly, the Hebrides, and the island groups of Orkney and Shetland. It does not include the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands which are not part of the United Kingdom, and have independent legislative and taxation systems.
The United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy and unitary state consisting of four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and WalesComment

Cheers - i take that as a big compliment
Ireland (the bit thats not part of GB) has the €, the rest has the £ and you get northern ireland, scottish, english, welsh and isle of man bank notes which are great fun to use.
We all drive on the left, use meters and miles, litres and gallons, grams and pounds

The green is nice for sure... any time I fly into Madrid I am always amazed how much it resembles a desert... But the rain is depressing here. Absolutely kak weather here.uff.. i see, it is some difficult to know it...

The British Isles has indeed only partly gone to metric measurements... Sure we buy petrol in liters now, but the empty suits in Belgium have allowed us to keep our 'pints' - yeyyy, but weights and measurements are still a bit random. It will take another generation I think before all the imperial stuff is gone - except pints. Dunno about miles - seems stupid that its only us and the 'murricans who use them nowadays.Paul Nugent

Jees - don't start me on the money thing... Lost count of the number of arguments in Engerland about this where some of the shops will only accept Bank of England - in fairness cos its what they generally recognise and they are afraid that anything unusual could be fake money. It's always a nightmare in a bar, when you've had a few and the only cash left is a NornIron bank note - you always get the 'sorry mate' from the barman - their loss - out to phuck for a local drinklink machine and onto the next bar!
The really curious thing is that all of the NornIron bank notes actually state 'STERLING' on them - but Bank of England notes do not (vison of everyone checking their wallets now and saying 'ahhhhh').
But to the real point - I have no fricking idea why every tiddly bank over here feels the need to print their own money - surely the production of it is all under regulation by Bank of ENgland so it may as well be Bank of England money... Unless there is political thing there that I am oblivious to with the history here.Paul Nugent

The other reason why you will never see a "Great Britian" football team is that England, Scotland, Wales & NI all have a vote with UEFA & FIFA....
If they merged they would lose at least 3 votes....
Like most stuff in life it's all politics.. :corey:Comment
