A cute little video to explain the difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England (and The Crown, the Commonwealth, colonies, protectorates...)

The Difference between the United Kingdom, Great Britain and England Explained

Perfect for explaining to your friends and family.

Yeah, I posted that last month.  I wonder if the guy who made it is a member of the board. 

His blog is here:

He has a lot of interesting information on there like the myth that only a tiny percentage of Americans hold a passport (although passport ownership appears to rely on income).

No, it's great you posted it too.  I think it's an awesome video and is a pretty great explanation of how it all works.

As a Brit I found this amusing, and slightly educational regarding some of the smaller colonies... ;D
