The United Kingdom and Great Britain explained

Post by Welly »

I was shown this last night and thought it might be of interest, I found out a few things I didn't know (or had forgotten).

He did speak rather fast. There were some vague attempts at humour but I didn't like the bit about the English forgetting Northern Ireland exists, perhaps these days amongst kids getting almost no education but ffs we're not Americans, who tend to forget the rest of the world exists...

A lot of English shopkeeps think Northern Ireland banknotes are some strange obscure foreign currency....

I remember Paddy Kielty saying that an Essex man noticed he was from Belfast, and said something like "Tap'a da mornin ta ya!", to which Paddy replied "Why aye man!"...
