When in England, never refer to England as a European country. You will be corrected swiftly, and possibly rudely. About the only time the English are rude, near as I could tell.
England is an island. It's not part of Europe. Or so they say.

What part of England is Europe in again? :) In Europe, countries are much smaller and closer together... similar in a way to US states. I would be surprised if people in Europe didn't know things about their close neighbors. It's also likely that the farther north you go in the US, the more people will know about Canada, the farther to the southwest, the more they will know about Mexico. -Cameron -------------------- Cameron Childress elliptIQ Inc. p.770.460.1035.232 f.770.460.0963 -- http://www.neighborware.com America's Leading Community Network Software > -----Original Message----- > From: Larry Lyons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, February 11, 2002 11:45 AM > To: CF-Community > Subject: RE: Voice From 'Here be Dragons' (was Buggar off!) > > > Not really, people in England and Europe are much more aware of other > nations, their concerns etc. While some details probably are > missed, I doubt > that there are nowhere near the same proportion of undergraduates that are > plainly butt ignorant about other countries. > > larry > > -- > Larry C.
