I'm disappointed there aren't any Ireland "facts."

Granted, you did say UK, but North Ireland still counts, right?

I'm disappointed that col missed out the most important facts about us northerners, still that I suppose is because of this fact.

- southerners never venture further north than Watford Gap

- in the north we all live in 2 up 2 down terrace houses with a tin bath hanging on a nail in the yard.

- This is used for the monthly bath in front of the living room fire, starting with dad (if he is still around) and working down the pecking order to the youngest kids who go in last.

I can only imagine your jealousy of how clean you imagine the white folks houses to be!
