What is the Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain, and England?
Do you ever get confused and wonder what the difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain, and England is? And where does Ireland and Northern Ireland fit into all this? And what are the British Isles?
Well, I have come across an incredibly-helpful and amusing video on YouTube that answers those questions.
While I am happy to share it with you, I will caution you that he talks really fast. So I’m going to give you the bottom line first, kind of a “cheat sheet” so your head won’t spin when you watch the video.
What is the United Kingdom?
The United Kingdom is made up of several countries: England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Each is a sovereign nation. The U.K. is actually called the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Citizens of each U.K. country carries a British passport. There are all British citizens. Yet, don’t call them all British. In England the preferred name is English. In Scotland the preferred name is Scottish. In Wales the preferred name is Welsh. And in Northern Ireland you will find the Northern Irish.
While the U.K. is a member of the European Union, the currency used in these countries is the British £ sterling. Some larger stores will accept Euros but some have service fees. You can use your Mastercard (Access) and Visa in most places.
How to Avoid Catching a Cold or the Flu from Airplane Germs
by Juan Vives
You can protect yourself from catching a flu bug, cold, or airplane germs in a crowded airplane by following a few simple rules. There is nothing worse than arriving sick at your vacation spot or taking home a cold as a souvenir. A few of the best healthy travel practices will help you avoid catching a cold or the flu from germs floating around the airplane cabin.
Plane air is filtered and flows from the cabin ceiling to the floor, so the danger is mainly from the noses, mouths, and hands of people sitting around you, and the objects you touch during the flight.
Here is a list that will help you avoid catching a cold or the flu and protect yourself from airplane germs on your flight:
- It is all about who you are sharing your armrest with. If your neighbor is sneezing, ask the flight attendant if you can sit somewhere else. Or if you can find an open spot once the airplane is in flight and the “fasten your seatbelt light” is off, just move. Your neighbor may actually appreciate the extra space.
