England and Scotland are not in fact countries, according to UN definition

 

Ahem - I'll go first then will I??

Total joke.. if the question had said 'name blah blah according to UN definition' then you could indeed fail but it said country and even in the loosest sense of the work wales is still classed as a country.. therefore to disallow Scotland and England is simply a ploy for QM attention!!

I dont even want to win but cannot and will not fail on such QM idiocy!!!!!!!

..and on that basis I OBfeckingJECT

Infact if anything UK should be a total and absolute fail as I'm presuming our adventurous travelers skipped right past Wales....

FLOG THE QM - VERY VERY HARD

well no, they travelled THROUGH the United Kingdom, of which Scotland and England form part. Two nations, within one country (Wales is another nation, also part of UK)

[MintTrav]

As some of the ones affected are not present, I should point out that countries and states are not the same thing.

England is not a state, but it is accepted to be a country.

TRIP5 and MintTrav seem to object.... any other supporters?

[Tal]

Gooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllll!


AND ANOTHER!

[taximan007]

England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland play as seperate COUNTRIES in football, that's good enough for me

[MintTrav]

Although not sovereign states, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (in the United Kingdom) are examples of entities that are regarded and referred to as countries - Wikipedia

Scotland was not visited on the trip from John O'Groats as they were already there.

England is a whale with UK

[TRIP5]

England is a constituent country, the United Kingdom is a sovereign country

Redic ruling..

Seems taximan does and I'll assume Tighty does too based on his one reply itt.

Go on then....I'll join the bandwagon  

[TRIP5]

Scotland, England et al are a constituent country, the United Kingdom is a sovereign country

Redic ruling..
