Is Great Britain a part of Europe, or the continental shelf?

Isn't Britain an island?

Isn't Great Britain two islands?

Didn't you forget some of the islands around it, like the Isle of Wight, the Isles of Scilly, and the Shetland Islands?

And where on earth is the Lesser Britain? Is it the same as Brittany?

Nope. But why didn't I think of it while I was there?

I did think when I moved here to ask where 'Old Zealand' was.

Well, there is Zeeland in Holland, but it may not be related to New Zealand.

Nope, you got it, apparently that's where we are named after.

In that case New Zealand was thus named in the heyday of the East India Company.

Your guess is probably better than mine. If I remember, I may look it up tomorrow.
Right now my early start is catching up with me. Quick cup of mint tea then I'm off to bed.

Mint tea? Somehow I cannot picture in my mind Finns or Russians sipping mint tea.

What if you put a nice slug of vodka in it??


If it makes you feel any better I have drunk wine. I just sleep better after a mint tea.

I know where Old Mexico is, but where is Old York, Old Hampshire, and Old Jersey?
