Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I hate to be picky, Marilyn. England is not in itself an island, but rather part of an island which is topped by Scotland and which also comprises Wales. We may all be part of the UK (including Northern Ireland) but nothing is guaranteed to more enrage the Scots, Welsh or Irish than to be told they are a part of England, LOL.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I know the extent of the island, Christie. What I was saying that as vast as the United States is, we are always calling it north/south and east/west. I was in no way making light of the fact that England is part of a larger island, just that it is nothing for us to travel 100 miles or much more just getting places.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Sure, I understand that, Marilyn. It's just that since the UK is so tiny in comparison with the US, a lot of Americans come over here and do not realise that Britain and England are not synonymous and the offence that can be taken. I know what you mean about distances - I used to to live up in the northwest of P. Quebec and we thought nothing of travelling 100 miles just to go to the cinema. Over here taking a bus 10 miles along the coast feels like a major expedition! Smiles Christie , " Marilyn Daub " <mcdaub wrote: > > I know the extent of the island, Christie.

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 And the 10 mile bus trip will probably take a long time with all the stops!!!

Guest guest Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 I can believe that which is like a 60 mile drive here since most of our driving is on expressways.
