British comics no less.

This from an American "I’m a former New Yorker. I’ve only visited Canada, but lived in London for the past 25 years. In the States, if you have a good job, you can live very comfortably. But if you have a serious medical emergency or long term medical needs, this can bankrupt you, you can lose your home & be very poor. For average workers, the medical insurance is very difficult as the insurance is very expensive and on top of that, you have to co-pay. And many can’t get insurance because of pre-existing issues. In the UK, medical care is free, doesn’t matter about your past history ... the taxes we pay towards it is less than what people pay in the States for their insurance. People never have to worry about being homeless because of ongoing medical problems. Whenever I go back to New York to visit, I’m a bit shocked at how very poor many people are there - compared to London. In the UK, if you are working, but not able to afford rent, the government will pay towards your rent. It may not cover all the rent, but it helps. If you have children & don’t earn enough in your job, the government will top up your earnings so you are above the poverty line. If you are unemployed, your unemployment benefits won’t stop as long as you are actively looking for work & attending the skills meetings. And if you do accept a job, but it doesn’t pay well, the government will top it up to make sure you are earning what they consider to be the minimum needed to live on. My high-earning son had the opportunity to work for his company in the States, but he realised he has a much better safety net here in the UK for his family. It felt too much of a risk for him to have to pay for medical insurance for his family when it isn’t even guaranteed that it will pay for certain things. The only thing I don’t like about living in the UK is the weather. But everything else, in my personal opinion, leads for a better quality of life.

So I guess I'll be the nerd... It is called Great Britain, because it is a wrong translation from latin. The name in latin was Britannia Maior. Maior (sometimes written major) can be translated into great or big, but it can also be translated as upper, and it this case this was the real meaning of the phrase. So Brittania Maior means Upper Britain, as opposed to Britania minor, which is, of course, lower Britain. Lower Britain is today known as Brittany, or in french Bretogne. So, these terms were used by French rulers, following the conquest ofWilliam the Conqueror (in France known by his french and real name: Guillaume le Conquérant) to distinguish Brittany (or Bretagne) from Britain. So, when good people that we today know as Brits took control of the island known today as the Great Britain back from the Frenchies, they decided they will translate latin name Brittania Maior to Great Britain, rather than Upper Britain. Voila! P.S. I agree it's great :) All of it...

Thanks, perfessah. That's great. It's a purely geographical distinction, denoting the largest/greatest landmass/island/whatever of several dozen crummy little ones. Yes, yes, yes. We know. Do you want mayonnaise on your archipelago? But it's fun to suggest otherwise because it winds people from the States RIGHT up, and that's always good for a laugh. "We can't call it great, buddy, because it's un-Constitutional and it makes us feel bad, so we'll call it Little Englandshire because it's tiny and it really sucks." Sounds reasonable to me. I think the term 'great' can only mean 'terrific and wonderful and BIG and BEST and NUMBER ONE' in the USA (hence the constellation Ursa Major becomes 'the Big Bear', not 'the Greater Bear', and Canis Major is just some dumb ol' pooch - the 'bigger' and not the 'greater' of two; and the poor old Plough becomes 'a Big Ladle-Type-Spoony-Thing'). The Great Lakes, however, are Jolly Super and actually Awfully Expansive. I expect Emperor Nero Trumphole will want to rename the USA: 'The Great United States of Great America, Greatest and Best and Biggest Nation For Ever And Ever, Like for Infinity, You Know, Plus One, No Returns, Nyah, Nyah, Nyah'. Even though Canada is far greater, North America-wise. Bigger, I mean. Or do I?

When working out a calculation in imperial I always had an intuition if it was right or wrong, not so with metric. In addition in fastenings we went from BSW, BSF, BA,BSP and BSPF and many more to the Unified series (combination of U.K. and US threads thought to be required after WW2) followed shortly after by Metric. It may just be that what you learn in your youth, you pick up easier and retain. Anyway Im happy that what has been a pain for me has benefited someone.

I can never understand why the thumbs down! With Al Murray, there are no surprises, he Al ways makes me laugh and he's a very naughty 'boy'. The people who dont have enough red blood cells to get their thumbs up, almost certainly have 'other' difficulties.

Sad part is the french made a new calendar and there were 100 seconds a minute and 100 minutes per hour, and 10 hour days, they did this during the French revolution

😊 Haahaaa! That was brilliant. 😊

I'm gonna *totally* ruin the joke here and give a cool fact: The reason Great Britain is called that is because of the French province of Brittany. In the Medieval era it used to be an independent kingdom so the "Great" was put before it to differentiate between the 2 places: Britain and Brittany!

Great Britain is called 'great' because its the largest island in the British isles

The reason Great Britain is called Great Britain: The name Britanny was used by the Europeans for this land, the word means "the place where tin is obtained," as the europeans from ancient times used to obtain that metal from the Cornish tin mines. The reason this land is called "Great Britain" is because the ancient French called this land "Great Britanny" as this island is the larger of the two islands, Britain and Ireland. They named the island of Ireland "West Brittany." (You can tell I'm something of a geek, can't you?)
