< Some are funny. >However, how realistic is it? I don't know their states, counties, provinces, whatever. Posted by TheCatt on Nov. 27 2013,12:34
Do Brits have, uh, subdivisions? Kent? Is that a town, or a isle or something?Yeah, those people know way more about the US than I know about the UK. Posted by thibodeaux on Nov. 28 2013,13:19
The kingdom itself actually consists of 4 distinct "nations" plus maybe some independent things like the Isle of Man: England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.These in turn have counties, which often end in "-shire." They recently (i.e., last 30 years or so) re-organized those. Posted by Malcolm on Nov. 30 2013,12:28

Jeebus help you if you mistake one for the other. It's astounding how much they hate each other yet still stay together as a "kingdom." Posted by GORDON on Nov. 30 2013,15:52
Just like how lots of Yankees think they hate the southern states.
