It depends on what you are looking at. Land's End in Cornwall to John
O'Groats in Scotland is well over 800 miles, while to the Shetland
Islands is over 1,000 miles. From the Mexican border to the Oregon
border is less than 800. In terms of land mass, you are right as
California has about twice as much as the U.K., but with only about half
the population.
Now, who knows why Great Britain is smaller in all respects than the
United Kingdom. All of this, of course, goes out the window if Tony
Blair's "devolution" follows its logical course, making it "the formerly
United Kingdom" and the "once Great Britain".
Now, all of you in Blighty are ineligible for this quiz because you
BETTER know the answers all ready. If you don't, shame, shame on you!!!
