COMMENTARY     

cc
6th March 2005 		I find that many people living outside of the UK believe that England and UK are the same nation. However, I know that England is a part of the UK, as are Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales. Many people make the mistake of confusing a person of "British" ancestry of being solely "English" without including those who are of Scotch or Welsh ancestry.
