What Google thinks of the English


Recommended Posts

I can't understand why the search engine associates the BNP (British National Party) with England.

I bet google believes that Wales is part of Britain also, when it is not.

I am English as I was born in England.

That should really be the answer to be definition.

Um, Wales *is* part of Great Britain.

*edit*

In fact Britain (as opposed to Great Britain) technically refers to England and Wales together which I never knew I just thought it was a lazy way to say Great Britain.

Wales is a principality of England and the Welsh flag is not part of The British flag.

So therefore not part of Britain.

I cannot believe the only information you can find to prove your point is from a Junior school about 3 miles from where I live.

I had to correct them a few times myself.

I will find the email I sent to them and pass it on to you if I find it.

How about a government definition? Good enough? http://www.direct.go...eUK/DG_10012517

Great Britain is England, Scotland and Wales.

The name Britannia (which was the Roman name for the British Isles) refers to the southern part of Great Britain, namely England and Wales. Britannia is essentially Britain in English, so Britain is England and Wales. So Wales is part of Britain.

Logic, lovin' it!

[Quick Edit]

Wales is not a principality of England, it is technically a province as it still has it's laws made in another country (England).

Also, there is no part of the Welsh flag on the 'British' flag (as you call it) because Wales was part of England at the time the flag was made and went under the English flag.

Wales hasn't been a principality in over 30 years.

Great Britain = England, Scotland and Wales.

United Kingdom = Great Britain and N. Ireland.

British Isles = the Islands of Ireland and Great Britain.

Or what I said in an earlier post :p A government definition is always better though! (Y)
