Obviously not, if you think Scotland is not part of Britain.

If the Scots are not British, then no-one is - because by your defintion the English are not British, neither are the Welsh.

quote: F*cking semantics

The words "English" and "British" are very different, and its not just a semantic distinction.

SD, if you read the second half of that post, you'd know there was confusion about which name refered to which group, not which groups are there.

The comment 'bout Scotch vs. Scottish: being sarcastic. I know it's a no no, thank you. I've gotten it from time to time myself, along with Copper-Top, Carrot-Top, Lucky, and Marmalade Joe (Grrr...).

Ok, I wasn't trying to be difficult, but I have a pet peeve about people interchanging British with English. If its just a misunderstanding, then I'm glad its settled.

Thank you for understanding what I meant, not what I said SD. : rolleyes: I hate the thought of getting into an arguement online, so I'm grateful this has been cleared up.

quote: Originally posted by DRoseDARs Genetics works in even fractions, not odd. And no, Scotland IS NOT part of Britain. Ignoring semantics, and the many names of the land of the Brits, the United kingdom consists of four parts: England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Treaties united the former three and I don't know how N.Ireland came into the picture. Saying Scotland is part of Britain and therefore the same thing as Britain is like saying California is the same as Texas. Politically united, but culturally different in both cases.

Scotland is not part of England, it is part of Britain.

I always thought
(Great) Britain = England +Scotland + Wales (Great Britain being opposed to Brittany/Bretagne which is part of France). England != Scotland != Wales != England.
UK = United Kingdom(?)s of Great Britain and Northern Ireland = England +Scotland + Wales + Northern Ireland.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Just thinking: Isn't Big Ben the tower of the House of Parliament which is belongs to Westminster, i. e. a part of London? It's not the belfrey of Westminster Abbey.

Big Ben is the bell in the "Tower of Westminster" which is actually called St Stephens Tower.

quote: Originally posted by Zulu Elephant On a serious note - a really dont think anyone outside of britain would get the big ben question

Touché! I knew it perfectly well.

Anyway, those questions really don't seem to work.

quote: 20) How many states are there in the USA?A) Two, euphoric or depressed.B) 50

It's too obvious which one gives you lower percentage score, but I still answered 50 because that's the true answer. There should at least a few more options to make it at least abit more complicated.

quote: 40) Is there a decent Indian restaurant within a mile of your house?A) Yes, the 'Tandori House'.B) What is a curry?

This one was tricky because I do have 2 Indian restaurants within that distance from my home, but none of them is a Tandori House. So I chose yes, but it's still not correct.
