To be fair Scotland had recently qualified at the expense of mighty Italy so he may have been a tad the worse for the grain.

I personally think it probably isn't, but I can't find the info on the net strangely. It is definitely a principality, but I'm unsure now whether it can be classed as a country as well. If I manage to find a Welsh person who can read and write I'll ask them and let you know.

:P

We have decided that it is both a Country in it's own right and a principality within the UK, the same as England. Scotland however has it's own devolved Parliament with the right to legislate and raise taxes, independent of the UK Government at Westminster and is therefore more self determining.

Indeed Scottish elected MPs can vote on matters which relate entirely to England and Wales and not Scotland. However only Scottish elected MPS can vote in relation to the devolved issues. Primarily health, education, law and order.

We've just read through the thread and I asked her if she did think they were the same country and she said Yes :huh:

'Cause it's joined, like :unsure:

Nah, he does it all the time. He's one of those annoying people who like to absorb information without necessarily forming a judgement on it.

Technically speaking, England has a monarch and Wales has a prince....hence the terminology. Slightly dated maybe, but I believe it still stands.

You know what? I've learned something here today......I live on one hell of an interesting little island.
