Sleepy - ever noticed how the "Wales" is the standard unit of geographical area as used on BBC news broadcasts? For example, when a large bit of Antarctica breaks off, or a large amount of rainforest is destroyed, it's always "an area half the size of Wales", or "an area 3 times the size of Wales".
Why isn't Milton Keynes on that map?

Lisa:
“Nemesis your little rant reminded me of that scripture where that man was in church praying, ‘Thank you God that I am not like that man over there.’”
Not sure what you are implying, as it was not “a rant”. If I was Scottish, Spanish, Italian, etc. I would be proud to say so, the same for any other culture, and background. Maybe you feel something missing in your life, and that provokes your comments, but why should I deny my history, heritage, culture, and my country’s achievements? I get everyone else's stuffed in my face all the time where I live, am I supposed to shy away and be ashamed of who I am? I understand if you cannot grasp that as your history is vastly different to ours, but hey, don’t have a go at me because you are different.

"I like being called English because I am! We make up almost 82% of Great Britain’s population. Where as the welsh make up less than 2% (Sorry sleepy)"
2% no way.
5% thats more like it .60 mill. Brits 3 mill. Welsh =5%
We just doubled in size.Rant Rant Rant.

Some dude or broad said:
The Europeans are just as bad. I have heard you all call us Americans, Yanks. As my daddy always says "I ain't no dam yankie, I'm a Texan."
Afeckinmen. I grew up mostly in Texas and all in parts all over the south. I have lost most of my accent, since I have not been there past 1985. Still I say yall...and accent or no I am not a yank. As they sayAmerican by birth, but southern by the grace of god.
Nevertheless I tolerate our inferiors elsewhere in the world who cannot understand thatTexas, its a whole nuther country
As far as the proud anglo, I feel for ya bro. I used to be really pissed at the teacup niggas as I call them, for remainin in Eire. Then it dawned on me one day, after seeing a great many anglo broads. You have cause to be there. Irish women of course. If I were anglo I'd be spendin' ever moment of me time in good ole Eire if I could. -

Hi iggy,
Are you from Milton Keynes? or are you just being sarcastic about the place? People usually are!
We used to live there until a few years ago.

I went to Milton Keynes once.
It was only when we looked at our map that we realised we had driven straight through without noticing it. -

sleepy,
The roundabouts in Milton Keynes all look the same, they had to name them so people know where they're at! Awful place! I'm actually from an old town which was swallowed up by Milton Keynes. I was glad to move!
