Britain isn't a country. It is the name given to the island inhabited by the English, Scottish and Welsh, and also covers the surrounding smaller islands.

You need to read up on your UK places, Spooky. What about Liesestershire?

Like I say, steve, I need a complete overhaul. I used to be part of the British Good Ol' Boys club (IE: Canada) Well...anyway, discard Wessex...what about the other names that I said...and let's add Liesestershire to the mix, too.

I am too cruel. I love how Americans pronounce Leicestershire 'Lie-sester-shire'. It makes me giggle. It's LESTERSHIRE, dammit!

Note to Americans: When you put "shire" on the end of everything, you are no longer talking about a city, you are talking about a county.

They hate that. But that's because they are miserable.

I'm just as amused that there's a town here in South Carolina named "Round O".
