Great+Britain


 * Summary** This country is full of people who speak "the Queen's English" where they say things like "rubbers" instead of galoshes, "lift" instead of elevator and "torch" instead of flashlight. If you get a chance to visit, you must go see the Crown Jewels, see the change of guard at the palace and take a ride on a double decker bus.


 * Flag** [[image:http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:OKvf_J8nbD0XTM:http://www.legendsofhockey.net:8080/LegendsOfHockey/graphics/coFlagEngland.jpg]]

The flag of the United Kingdom is a blue field with the red cross of Saint George (patron saint of England) edged in white superimposed on the diagonal red cross of Saint Patrick (patron saint of Ireland), which is superimposed on the diagonal white cross of Saint Andrew (patron saint of Scotland); properly known as the Union Flag, but commonly called the Union Jack; the design and colors (especially the Blue Ensign) have been the basis for a number of other flags including other Commonwealth countries and their constituent states or provinces, and British overseas territories.
