Tonite we watched “The Queen”, starring Helen Mirren, and some actor that looks exactly like an evil Tony Blair doppleganger. So about half way through the movie, Karen asks “So I don’t get this. What’s the difference between England, Great Britain and the United Kingdom?”
And I reply, “Well, EVERYONE knows that it’s all exactly the same thing. I think. Errrrr… Actually, you know what, I really have no idea what any of those things really mean.”
Thank god for wikipedia! They put together a nice little euler diagram that explains everything
I don’t think anyone on earth actually knows all this. I’ve always used them interchangeably. And what the heck is the “Isle of Man?” Is that where the centaurs and dragons live?
waddya mean , “I don’t think anyone on earth actually knows all this.” how about the guy you lived with for twenty years who was born in the United Kingdom Of Great Britain?
