“The English are British and lots of people think the British are English but that annoys the Scottish and Welsh because although some think they’re British and some think they aren’t and some think they are but don’t want to be, they all agree that they definitely are not English.

The Irish mostly think they are Irish, apart from the ones who are Northern Irish. Some say that makes them British and Irish. But others disagree and say they should just be Irish and then some say they aren’t British either but part of the United Kingdom.

People from England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland can all play cricket for England because they’re British as can those from Ireland even though they aren’t British. So can South Africans.

The English play football for England unless they aren’t that good when they might try to play for Ireland. Those from the Isle of Wight are English, from Anglesey are Welsh and the Orkneys are Scottish, but although that means they aren’t from the island of Great Britain they’re still British.

The Channel Islanders depend on the crown which is what the Queen wears but they aren’t in the UK and those from the Isle of Man are the same, apart from their cats.”

So funny… I liked the class one too :D

Geez… the ding dong on the tannoy at the Olympics is exactly the same sound as our gate bell… I’ve been up an down like a good un! :?

Well at least I’ll be fit by the end of the games :D

I would have to change the door bell chime.

I actually binned our door bell because it used to ring on its own. Something nearby was triggering it.

I liked not having a door bell but my dad installed a new one whilst we were on holiday, wrongly thinking we wanted one!

I can understand that… actually this bell is on the gate…only have to go to the kitchen as monitor and intercom is there …we dont have a door bell… but folks could not get to the door unless they get through the gates… so I have to check every time the ding dong goes

*Wonders if Teapot’s security gated mansion is as luxurious as Panda Palace…

Ha Ha…. I doubt it Panda… I live in a barn :D

I rather like Claire Wales tbh, she’s always been polite to me and says hello.

You hear lots of stories about different people in here, most of it is made up to try to get you to turn against them.

Actually certain….. Im not in chat often but Claire was always ok with me too… so was Jadey… and Annette…..said it before but put them in a room together and Im sure they would come out pals… not going to happen though :?

What they need in chat is a naughty chair… like my kids had at playschool…. oh wait maybe they could have two…..because thin would always be sat on one :D
