Maybe we should think of renaming England to what it really is;

London, Greater London and the Other Bit That Londoners and Most Politicians Don't Give a Shit About?

The national anthem might be a bit of a problem though!
So maybe not.....  ;D

FSR Moldova is historically the Romanian province of Basarabia.

The irony is that whilst a few want to spray paint "Basaribia E Romania" on walls, the majority of Romanians consider Basarabians to be Zigani Alb (white gypsies)

I'm a Londoner. The various branches of my family that ended up there did so because they were forced off their land in rural Dorset, Cambridgeshire and elsewhere due to the various Enclosures Acts. Trust me, nobody ended up living around St Catherine's Dock out of choice. Leave your childish resentment behind.

Oh FFS has nobody got a sense of humour?
Well seemingly if you live in London then the answer is no!

So I humbly apologise to all Londoners present and past, anyone who has travelled to London, has read a book about or pertaining to London, had seen a bit of London in a photograph or in a film or documentary and especially to anybody who has watched The Bill or even EastEnders!

Alright guvs?  :P

My birth certificate reads that I was born "In the County of Kent".
