In response to Where Do You Live? posted by pink101:"I thought UK included a lot of countries.
England, Britain, Great Britain, United Kingdom (UK) are lazy, interchangeable terms for this foreigner...for one sovereign country.
The Irish, Scottish, Welsh etc peoples are part of the UK and may hold conflicting and more passionate views than I about what is after all THEIR homeland, not mine. ![]()
The British 'Commonwealth' however includes Canada and Australia + 14 or so other sovereign countries where we share a foreign Queen as some form of ceremonial 'Head of State' but not in practice. We all are NOT part of the UK. The USA could have had this Queen too but you luckily chose Dubya and his predecessors.
