3. Oh now that was a TOTAL
shot! :evilgrin:

I remeber when The Economist was discussing the Scottish independence movement they referred to a new country in Europe, a place known as "andWales." It seems they noticed people only ever mentioned Scotland andWales.

Poor Wales, always the afterthought!
