What are five interesting facts about the United Kingdom?

Answer 1

When you walk through a storm
hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark.
At the end of a storm is a golden sky


And the sweet silver song of a lark.
Walk on through the wind,
Walk on through the rain,
Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.


Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.
Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart


And you'll never walk alone,
You'll never, ever walk alone.

1. The vast majority of its citizens can not accurately define what exactly the United Kingdom is.

2. The UK has several indigenous regional languages - here is a list, with region, language, number of speakers, percentage of populatuion:
Wales - Welsh 582,000 20.8%
Northern Ireland - Irish Gaelic 16,900 10%
Jersey - Jèrriais 2,874 3.3%
Sark - Sercquiais 600 3.3%
Isle of Man - Manx 1,689 2.2%
Guernsey - Guernesiais 1,200 2%
Scotland - Scottish Gaelic 93,282 1.8%
Cornwall - Cornish 300 0.06%

3. Strictly speaking, the Isle of Man, the Bailiwick of Jersey and the Bailiwick of Guernsey are neither part of the United Kingdom, nor of the European Union. They are "Crown Dependencies", although they are treated as part of the United Kingdom for British nationality law purposes.

4. Not only are there more tornadoes per square mile in the United Kingdom than in the USA's "Tornado Alley", the UK actually has the highest frequency of reported tornadoes per unit area in the whole world.

5. Its capital claims to be the most cosmopolitan city in the world.

Answer 3

2) It has an indigenous underclass that leeches from the tax paying population, yet moans very loudly in monosyllabic tones at the prospect of potential immigrants that are willing to work.

3) If you turn England, Scotland and Wales upside down it looks like a witch.

4)There are great white sharks off the Cornish coast, dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

5) In London at least, the public transport system is atrocious, overpriced and you'd be better off walking.
