    England are only seen as tea drinkers because in the old days, we nicked tea leaves from India. One remaining tea clipper is in dry dock at present. The Cutty Sark, Greenwich. At present, the old tea clipper is being restored.

    England questions? mmmm.....


    The English flag is a red cross on a white background. The union jack is a combination of England and scotland.

    In a small quiet quarter of England, there is actually a farm that genetically produces pink coloured chipmunks. By simply feeding them prawns and adding colourants to their diet, they have actually created a near pink chipmunk. I forgot where they were based now.

    I don't think Ireland are included or Wales:( It seems that Scottish blue and white flag merged in with Englands white and red is what is included. The Irish flag I believe looks similar to the Italian flag.
    Welsh flag is a dragon.

    The diagonal red cross represents St Patrick's flag, the old flag of the Kingdom of Ireland before it became part of Britain. You're right that Wales is not included, but they smell anyway.

    It's like a combination of musty books, poo and cheese. Like a cheesy poo book. Or a booky poo cheese. You know? That's the best I can describe it.
