re Britain...the lower you are geographically, the higher class you are, as you progress up the country it gets more and more working class.
Until ,finally, you arrive at Scotland..
Stop calling Britain, England.

Truth is, the likes of Edinburgh is very highbrow. Queen's English is spoken clearest in Scotland. Also, we are still the producer of the finest Whisky's.The sporting contests are the funniest.
If the medalist is English, we sure know about it.
If the medalist is Scots, etc. they are suddenly British.
Gotta love those sports commentators. -

geographically speaking I was very practical... I spend all night dancing with four beautifull ladies from Sweden.
Some with Ph in literature, so I pretended i know what we were talking about. In reality i even had a hard time locating Sweden mentally.
Well one of them told me that United States of Europe is not possible.
BTW, Sweden is not using the new europen currency yet. And i thoght England (sorry) and France were the only countries resisting the new currency.
Forgot to ask them for a new currency tip.

Hi Lesley, and anyone else at all interested in the strange town of Milton Keynes.
Yup, I live in the postal district of Milton Keynes, but not in any of the new bits, Wolverton to be precise. You didn't live in Bletchley by any chance? Now, I'm no deep lover of MK (though I prefer it to Northampton, where I used to live), but I feel moved to defend our lovely concrete cows, they're wonderful! Some years ago, they were distastfully "arranged" so that one of them was (er, how to put this delicately...) "being friendly" with one of the others. People could therefore, for a short while, talk literally about "those f***ing cows".
Many of the roundabouts are sponsored by local companies. There are several which are sponsored by the same Indian restaraunt, which causes me no end of confusion, but curiously I've eaten a lot more Indian food since moving here.

Hi Iggy,
I've sent you an email.
Yep, Bletchley born and bred! Why do you ask? We live in East Northamptonshire now about 15 minutes from Northampton.
I remember that now about the concrete cows!
Milton Keynes has changed a lot since we moved 4 years ago. My daughter is at MK Theatre tonight with her grandmother watching Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat (or whatever it's called!)
