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 ]
