You have to tee off at 5:30 am to have any shot of escaping the heat.

England is not a country. It is an economic region of the UK.

That's why there is nobody who represents England at the United Nations.

There is a rep for the UK.

Ha. I'm not going to go into why this is so wrong but I dare you to walk up to a Scotsman and say that you don't believe his country exists because he's not represented in the UN under the banner of Scotland

I know what your saying.

There has been a HUGE debate on Wikipedia about this subject. People were going on there daily and changing the 1st line of the England page. "England is a country located in the UK...." Another person would change it to "England is a region located in the UK....."

Generally, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are referred to as countries, but they are not sovereign states.

Ben Nevis? It's just a hill in Scotland

I would like to see Hugh Grant go up that hill and, due to the recent cuts in government spending and the decline in charitable donations, the mountain rescue service deem it "not financially viable" to go up and rescue him.
