Probably because he's one of those Americans who has his entire knowledge of Britain stemming from that episode of the Simpson's he saw and he actually believes that in saying '**** the queen' in the cobbled streets of merry ol England will rile up the villagers or be playing a risky game.

These are the same people when they ask where I from and I say "Wales" they go, "oh..is that in England?"

To be fair, I'm English and don't recognise Wales as a proper country, just an oversized county.

Well, you really should be able to distinguish which countries comprise the UK. I mean, that's like seventh-grade material right there.

Although I do use "English" as a synonym for "British" from time to time. :D

well there are a lot of things that Americans ought to be able to do and can't and I feel like them knowing where Wales is isn't really going to change the world.

But -- I had one night in London and I went to Leicester Square and saw a musical, then at night I went to Piccadilly Circus to some clubs then the 02 arena I think its called. It was a blast! partied until 9am! didn't even get to sleep in the hostel I paid for!

If there is one thing you Brits know how to do it's party!

also, Camden Town is fantastic. And try to fit in as many museums as possible. I really liked the Tate Modern and The British Museum.
ahhh everything about London is amazing.

We have the oldest language in Europe,

Famous Welsh people - Shirley Bassey, Tommy Cooper, Richard Burton, Catherine Zeta Jones, Rhys Ifans, Anthony Hopkins, Dawn French, Charlotte Church, Rhod Gilbert, Lee Evans, Dylan Thomas.

Bands/ Artists - Manic Street Preachers, Funeral For a friend, Stereophonics, Catatonia, Richie Blackmore, Feeder, Goldie Lookin Chain, Lost Prophets, Kids In Glass Houses, The Blackout, Super Furry Animals.

I'm just thinking considering the United Kingdom is only made out of 4 countries, it shouldn't be too hard to remember the names of them. Should it?

Scotland, Ireland, England and Wales. That's all it is!!!
