London is the capital of UK and of England. I know all the countries have their own capital. London is capital of both though. That is what we are taught in the outside world anyway.

This is, technically, correct I think.

While the countries which make up the constituent parts of the UK all have their own capital cities which many (most even) people living there would look to first and foremost, "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" is a union overseen and governed from London by a unified parliament, and thus is accepted globally as the capital.

A capital city does not have to be the biggest etc (though it usually is), but it is almost invariably the administrative centre where the ruler or government sits. Both York and Winchester were once considered England's capital city for that reason. The parliament @ Westminster is that of the entire UK. Thus London is its de facto capital.

The issues of national identity, devolution, and the extent to which England=Britain are very interesting, but even if it can be rather counter-intuitive especially to those who identify with one of the individual countries and do not feel the UK is all that relevant or real even, as long as it exists as a political entity then its capital really is London.

Scotland has its own Parliment?

Ask a scotsman what his capital is and the answer will be...

Ask a welshman what his capital is and the answer is....

Ask a Northern Islander what his capital is...

Ask an Englishman what his capital is....

Tell any of them apart from the Englishman their capital is London they will laugh in your face I guarantee that.

I am once again English, when filling a form out, the nationality part I tick other and put in English.

I follow both English Rugby teams yet don't give a fuck about the British one

I follow England national team yet did not give a fuck about the recent attempt at a British team @ the Olympics.

I follow an English football team in the English Premier league, its not a British premier League its English.

I am English, the German queens followers can be as British as they want, I don't care I am English.

I fly st George's not the Union Fucking Jack, that's the queens shit not mine.

Come on England rings true, come on Britain erm no thanks

Scotland has it's own Parliament

They get to decide what fireworks to have at New Year's Eve don't they?

Ha ha yeah that's about it mwah ha ha ha ha viva la independence

Certainly in Northern Ireland (where I'm originally from) I'm not at all sure half the population identify as Northern Irish first and British second, but that's another discussion.

Anyway, all that stuff you posted is irrelevant. The fact is that the UK exists as a political entity, and has a government made up of representatives from all 4 constituent nations. Whether you, or anyone else, believes in it or accepts it does not matter; until or unless the 1707 Act of Union is repealed then technically the UK exists and has its seat in London. The capital of Northern Ireland is Belfast, Scotland = Edinburgh etc, but the captial of the UK is London. Scotland has its own parliament but is not an independent country (and does not seem likely to vote to be one soon either) and still sends MP's to the UK parliament in London which has more power than the devolved assembly.

As I said above, the concept of national identity and what it means to be British rather than Welsh, English or whatever, is very interesting and almost entirely an imagined construct rather than something tangible, but you cannot just decide that the UK does not exist because people in your awareness don't identify with it above their individual national identities.

Far from melt, that's how I talk to my mates. They not pussies they can handle it. Hope I don't see you in 2020 if you act like this much of a wank. Fully hope I don't see ya late 2014 or early 2015 when Sal and I go back on our honeymoon. I'll start saving for 2020 now as the other one is already covered thanks.

I could go on, but I don't wanna end up like the picture of you.

The rest of ya.

I know Scotland, England, Wales and Ireland have their own Capitals, but London is capital of both England and of the UK. Did ya read the first line on the link? I'm not trying to start shit, that is just what we are educated with in my country at least.

I find it a bit confusing as well but that is what it is.

Old timer

If admitting I don't know everything about cannabis and asking questions to further my knowledge on the subject is making an arse of myself, then consider me the fucking class clown. You are still just a cunt.


Anyway time to make an arse outta myself again. Do Auto's have a different taste? Like all of them earthy? From what I understand Auto's have been found and bred with from all over.From Canada, Russia, Mexico. Each would have it's own taste? wouldn't it?

Bong didn't you say the Purple cheese was good?

I don't like earthy flavours much. Only cause a lot of strains over here are sativas and have woody, earthy tones, coupled with coffees, pines and touches of eucalypt (i call it.)

Which Autoflower would be the best for the suns love? (outdoor)

Also is Autoflower weed usually cheaper?

You can tell your not an Aussie mate, that's way to eloquently put!

Now that sounds familiar. The earthy taste. Now you come to mention it....

Sure I will pencil in next year or is it early 2015? You ain't even booked it yet eyt? And I hope the cs are still there for ya, last place I would take my new wife on a honeymoon, and it was a meltdown probably due to knocking back too much wife beater, remember its cold that time of year. See you then as I always turn up its always been others that don't

You prob need to p.m bong for your answers, I could answer them but not for you, don't get busted is the only advice I could give ya coz even though yer a strap on I don't like people getting locked up for weed.

See ya erm sometime, when you get your dates then put them up we will have a tnt

Enjoy yer search, the answers are in the forum, you just got to find em, and lay off the beer its bad for your health and turns you into a right Russell Crowe.

By the way wikpedia is info provided by people, anyone can put shit on, I got mates who are football superstars but have never kicked a ball
