Why England?

Postby ExitWound » Wed Apr 01, 2009 7:39 am

On this site's front page there's news items from the US and England - why only England? Why not Wales, Scotland and N Ireland? In fact why not the UK in general? Or doesn't the webmaster know the difference between England and the UK?

Why to go to offend and alienate the Welsh, Scottish and N Irish....

We take news from everywhere. Like epidemics, pollution and global warming, the inroad of speed cameras doesn't stop at borders. It is a wordwide problem. :)

However, most people are sending us news from England, perhaps because they live there. Do not hesitate to send us news from all UK.

You'd be better off saying they're from the UK seeing as England is not really a country on its own, it's a region of the UK like Wales, Scotland and N Ireland.

I don't see why you're happy to try and split up the UK like that. If you don't want to offend and alienate the rest of the country you'd be better off changing it to the UK.

Seriously, some of those articles refer to Britain (not just England), others refer to the UK (not just England) and others refer to England and Wales.

To be safe (and more appropriate) you should change your front page to say UK instead of England which, in many of those articles is inaccurate.
