The lovely Dutchie lives in the UK but is ...of course... from Holland! The equally lovely Leanne and the other lady with four initials (sorry, can't remember them!) are from Malaysia. Erick is from France.
Why are the UK lot the most active? I don't know, probably because there are a lot more of us and at the time of day most of us come on, there are lots of other people around. No idea really but it is great that we have people from lots of other parts of the world.
As for the British Isles, please note we are not one country:
Tthe Scots rabble are the most troublesome but we try and keep them in check. We built a wall to try and keep them out but sadly it fell into disrepair and the government have never bothered rebuilding it.... said it wasn't politically correct! They love watching football and rugby but sadly are rubbish at both. They do have some beautiful landscapes yet they still figured the best way to attract visitors was to claim there is a monster living in a lake! ... Oh, and they speak in a funny accent that only Glaswegians can understand and even then only in pubs after 10pm... and they call everybody Jimmy!
The Welsh are as mad as hatters and give tiny places ridiculously long names, like Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio gogogoch ... which only has about 2000 people living there! They have two cities that can't stop arguing with each other. They can't even decide which one should be the most important! Cardiff (or Caerdydd if you read their road signs!) is the capital city yet their Welsh Assembly buildings (that's the semi-autonomous, let-us-rule-ourselves-even-just-a-tiddly-little-bit-please group of bureaucrats who don't like travelling to foreign places like London to work) is nuilt in Swansea. They also speak funny and spit everytime they say Llanfair.... you know the one!
The Northern Irish are....well....learning to get along with their neighbours (also called Irish but without a compass point attached) and have a very big hole in the middle of the country which has filled with water so is now the biggest lake in the UK.... until Tony Blair has a drink when his gob becomes the biggest expanse of water in Europe! They enjoy dainty little dances, a bit like the Scots except without the accompaniment of wailing cat like instruments and without the danger of slicing their feet off with a pair of swords. They also speak funny with an accent that makes them sound really tick... whoops, I meant thick, sorry! But they aren't.... of course :o)
There are other foreign parts near our shores to: There are Guernseyites and Jerseyites, both best known for their cows, the Isle of Wight which is also best known for Cowes but not the type that go Moo! There are baby Channel Islanders like the Sarkites and the Alderneyites but most maps can't show them as they are smaller than a single pixel each! We have silly isles called the Scilly isles which are the only British Islands entirely surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean... unless of course you cound places like the Falkland Islands but the last time they got mentioned we ended up having a war so we'll keep that quiet. There are other tax dodges like the Isle of Man but sorry, no Isle of Woman. However, back up to that funny Haggis place you'll find other islands with names spelled weird like Eigg with a silent 'i' and Skye with a silent 'e'. Go right up north past a bloke called John O'Groats and get into another boat and you can head off to the Orkneys and if you miss them (not hard) you can keep going and end up in the place of little ponies: The Shetland Isles.
So you see, we are really a Unites States of Britain, each with their own little quirks and funny people speaking with funny voices....
BUT WE ARE PROUD TO BE BRITISH!!!!
Now I am off to hibernate for a VERY long time. And just to try and extenuate my circumstances here: I have family who are Scottish, Welsh and Irish. I have visited all those countries and they are beautiful. England is also beautiful and full of lots of lovely people.... except Tony Blair who is.... not!
Oh well, living is over-rated anyway
Cheers,
Rob
