  - Oy, are we going to have this discussion every few months? -- nm - con_carne Jul 15, 13:22 1
    - Why not? Summer's all about reruns. -- nm - TWuG Jul 15, 13:23
  - They can insist all they want, but I still get a UK stamp in my passport. -- nm - loosilu Jul 15, 13:20 5
    - It's like asking a Texan if they're part of the US. Being Texan comes first. - TWuG Jul 15, 13:22 4
      - But if you asked a Texan 'name the top 15 US tourist destinations by country' would Texas be one of their answers? -- nm - Roger More Jul 15, 13:25
      - that wasn't the question! -- nm - loosilu Jul 15, 13:25
      - I thought it's a state of cows -- nm - marcel Jul 15, 13:23 1
        
        watch it buddy! - 'lia Jul 15, 13:29
  - Part of the United Kingdom of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland? -- nm - Roger More Jul 15, 13:20 7
    - Wales. -- nm - loosilu Jul 15, 13:20 6
      - I think England included Wales at the time (not that Welsh people didn't have a separate identity, just not a separate political one) - Roger More Jul 15, 13:23 2
        
        I believe GB includes both Scotland and Wales. -- nm - loosilu Jul 15, 13:25 1
        
        Of course. -- nm - Roger More Jul 15, 13:26
      - not included in the official name. -- nm - Reagen Jul 15, 13:21 2
        
        did not know that. -- nm - loosilu Jul 15, 13:22 1
        
        Mostly because England made a point of officially conquering it back in the 1200s. -- nm - Reagen Jul 15, 13:23
  - at which point they would reference the Act of Union of 1707. -- nm - Reagen Jul 15, 13:20
Ireland is 14. -- nm - Reagen Jul 15, 13:18
Greenland? Iceland? You think Canadians want to go places that are even colder? -- nm - Roger More Jul 15, 13:16
