That's mine But you are only allowed one pet peeve... this is mine -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MY PET PEEVE: People who use the phrase and them proceed to name several peeves. A pet peeve is only one hence the word "PET". Anymore and it is just a peeve?

nacmacfeegle 0 #17 October 3, 2002 I hear ya Bile. The reverse is also true, eg when the English soccer fans were misbehaving really badly in Europe a couple of years back, the Beeb called them British.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

ernokaikkonen 0 #18 October 3, 2002 >I hate it when foreigners refer to Great Britain as 'England'. You know, you people on the funny little foggy islands can only blame yourselves! Who in their right minds would have messed up a perfectly good geographical location with so many countries and areas and stuff? Seriously, it's confusing! The names of the countries are easy of course. But then: -The United Kingdom? That's England+Scotland+Wales+N-Ireland, right? Is that the same as Great Britain? -What do you call the main island(E+S+W) ? -Is there a name for the whole bunch(E+S+W+N-Ireland+Ireland)? -Who can I call british without insulting them?

The British Isles -Who can I call british without insulting them? " Me, I'm British, its what it says on my passport. Yup its definitely confusing...... To make matters worse, us Scots have our own money, its the same value as sterling, it just looks different. Its printed by the banks so we have 3 versions of each note. We have our own parliament, some powers have devolved to our own government, some are still in London. We also have a different judicial system from the rest of the country.....And no written constitution! For the Olympics we are Great Britain, but for other sporting events we are divided up again...hence theres a lot of friendly rivalry going on. Hell I'm probably just as confused as you Erno LOL..... "you people on the funny little foggy islands" Bwaahahaha....most of our crappy weather comes from........America, or the US, North America, or the Americas or whatever........via the Gulf stream.-------------------- He who receives an idea from me, receives instruction himself without lessening mine; as he who lights his taper at mine, receives light without darkening me.

Ricx 0 #20 October 3, 2002 The United Kingdom? That's England+Scotland+Wales+N-Ireland, right? Is that the same as Great Britain? Yea, they are both the same. -What do you call the main island(E+S+W) ? Mainland Britain. -Is there a name for the whole bunch(E+S+W+N-Ireland+Ireland)? Ireland is not part of the UK, so without Ireland and with Northern Ireland (part of UK), it's called Great Britain. -Who can I call british without insulting them? Anyone with a brittish passport! doh! The English, the Scottish and the Welsh and folk from Northern Ireland. Nowadays it doens't really matter, we're multi race says the PM.

ernokaikkonen 0 #21 October 3, 2002 Ok, thanks for clearing that up. >>-Who can I call british without insulting them? " >Me, I'm British, its what it says on my passport.

dp1l 0 #24 October 3, 2002 My passport says "Great Britain and Northern Ireland", so I suppose the Island is called Great Britain. I am an African of British decent (mainly welsh) living in England. What is so bad about England? Why is (was) it regarded as racist to display the St George's Cross when it is the country's flag? Another thing, how come the other three countries have their own parliaments, but Englands affairs are governed by English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh mps?
