I had asked the question to somebody, why does this country have 4 football teams? ie England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. I was promptly been told that because they are all countries. As far as I know, the Country is United Kingdom.
I have since had many debates and I am astonished that so many believe that England, Scotland and Wales are counties.
No matter what I provide as prove people are still claiming that United Kingdom is not a country. For example of you look at a list of all the countries in the world, you do not get England, Scotland or Wales in that list. You get France, Germany, United Kingdom etc.
Can anybody prove to me either way? To be honest, I really don't care what the answer turns out to be as I am not emotionally affected by the answer. It's just that I have grown believing one thing and most people are telling me something else.
