Author: Roberdin [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 20:53:11 11/14/04 Sun What the hell is GB anyway? Hello? Bit behind in the news? You know, 1801 Act of Union? 1923 Irish Free State Agreement? Ring a bell? And why is it that British English is refered to in Computer terms as 'en-GB'? It should be 'en-EN', 'en-UK', or preferably, 'en-Br'. But anyway, back to cars. Very nice.

Author: Dave (UK) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 21:44:05 11/14/04 Sun I don't know why the ISO 3166 code for the United Kingdom is GB or GBR. Similarly the international currency code is GBP, rather than UKP. It�s just one of the many anomalies that result in the composition of our nation being one of the most misunderstood amongst foreigners. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Author: Ed Harris (London) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 22:18:22 11/14/04 Sun ... that so many cars which were sold with the EEC flag on the number plates already have covered them up with the stickers which the Daily Mail gave away free for the purpose? I don't know whether to be encouraged by people's rejection of the EEC or discouraged by the fact that so many people seem to read the Mail! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
