The Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England Explained

...maybe...

Euhm, wait, let me grap my morning coffee first, this is going way to fast :timeout:

Edit/ It is enlighting :shucks:

I knew dat! :yep:

*KICK* :nope:

Well, I knew some of dat. Lotsa Islands though.

Something he didn't mention was Great Britain. Well, he did, but he didn't mention where it came from (which was okay 'cause it wasn't part of his agenda, which was to tell us what it's all about, not what it was about a thousand years ago. But I know, and I'm gonna say it anyway).

Back when the Plantagenets ruled (that would be Henry II, Richard I (Lionheart) and Evil King John (who was no worse than his father and brother but gets a bad rap mainly for losing the crown jewels). The Island was called Great Britain because they also owned part of France. In their time it was called Less Britain, and today we call it Brittany. Oh, and John gave away that too.

So there. :sunny:

@ SS: :roll: :O: (J/k, impressed you know that)

Saw this on another site the other day, was very impressed with it. Couldn't figure out how to link it without being really spammy and NSFW. Wasn't a you tube video then.

I did learn alot from it.

And nice avatar Matador! (hey, i got picked on for hte same thing! :P)

TOO MUCH COFFEEEEE!!!!!

Bookmarked that for future use.

That is great! :yeah:

I never knew we had Tuvalu :)

:har: Very nice, and very informative. Knew most of it already but had forgotten if Great Britain involved Ireland or not.

Nice choice of colour for Northern Ireland, Orange. :haha:

That clarified a lot for me. Now I know why Jim is the way he is. :DL

Well, that's more than the rest of us southerners know, please do tell. :03:

I couldn't help but notice Wales was white in colour....probably to allow all the sheep to blend in :D
