Actually, if what they said when they introduced Gordon Brown to
Congress yesterday is accurate, it's not considered part of the UK, but
in addition to it. The intro was, "The Right Honorable Gordon Brown,
Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland." Not saying
the Sergeant at Arms of the House of Representatives couldn't be wrong,
but he hardly is. I believe originally "United Kingdom" was just
England and Scotland. Later "Great Britain" came to mean the UK plus
Wales, Cornwall, and Devon, in other words the Brits finally let the
Celts have a seat at the table. Of course, it still helps politically
if you're from the Home Counties . . . <g>

Glad you enjoyed it.

That one and the one after were particularly difficult to write.

Best, R.E.F.
