Quote:I hope not in this context.
UK or British Isles are often wrongly referred to as soley England which is a tad irritating for us lot from the North and the West.
Same people probably refer to the Republic of Ireland as being part of the British Isles too. I'm sure you my gist.
Eeeesh, this isn't working out quite as I intended - I've spent time in England, I do know the difference between England and Scotland and Wales (and Cornwall) and the concept of the UK and Great Britain and all that. The 'England' 'island' bit was a good humoured deer trap I set up for Mr. Prentice, it caught you, I apologise about all misunderstandings here. The idea was to be able to counter with the metaphor of an island as an isolated place, attitudes towards others not of that island, etc. Purely in reference to Mr. P's - Ireland as a rocky place where people don't move around much - comment.
Apologies for misunderstanding
But I'm not apologising to Mr. Prentice, he's a stinker!
That's not true, I think he adds loads of colour to the forum. Him and Jack knocking the living shit out of each other.
