I personally **** the term "Great Britain", which of course (as we all know) is England, Scotland, and Wales, 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. Trading Standards should get on the case because we're no longer "Great"
Also "United Kingdom"

which includes Northern Ireland and the above. We're no longer "United" with Wales and Scotland both having their own subsidiary governments. I for one would like to see Northern Ireland reunited with Eire for no other reason than the lives it could've saved if we'd have just given it back earlier. It wasn't ours in the first place.
Oh, and I vote for independence for Cornwall. I love their pasties but have no idea what half of the older generation Cornish are actually saying. Cockney is easy-peasy (cheesy peas) compared to these old buggers.
But for me, the Somerset accent is by far and away the best.
Oo-Arr mi luverrr. Ah, sweet Somerset (or, pronounced properly to the locals as Zummerzet). And I looooooooooooooooove zummerzet zider (that's Cider to you johnny foreigners) :glugglug: And how's this for crackin good music...I give you...The Wurzels

And if I have to be referred to as anything I am English, not British. I completely understand why the Scots and Welsh **** it in athletics and tennis. When they win they're British, but when they lose they're Scottish or Welsh. It's not fair.
Rant over. Toodles :hatsoff:
