why is the emergency phone number in the united kingdom "999" and "911" in the united states?
Q. Doesn't it make more sense to have the emergency number "999" ?
Asked by slyxavier - Tue Jan 20 22:15:40 2009 - Safety - 7 Answers - Comments
A. It was implemented as a feature to prevent abuse of the service. In theory, hitting 999 accidentally is much easier than hitting 911.

How do you say "United Kingdom" in German?
Q. We use a font that doesn't have the "B" double s character for "Gro B Britannien", so we want to use the german translation for United Kingdom instead, any ideas?
Asked by whyisiticalled - Mon Sep 24 11:15:52 2007 - Languages - 7 Answers - Comments
A. Hardly any German would know what "das Vereinigte Konigreich" is. We use "Grossbritannien" (spell it with a "ss" if you don't have the "ss" which is actually NOT being phased out) or mostly "England" for the whole lot, again because most people are unaware of the differences between England, Scotland, and Wales. They can't help knowing about Northern Ireland after it was in the news for decades.

Uni fees subsidy for Welsh students, the Scots are subsidised is this a "United Kingdom"?

A. Professor Andrew Hughes Hallett is a world class economist who divides his time between George Mason University in Virginia and St Andrews. He spoke to Newsweek Scotland today about the implications of the Comprehensive Spending Review. He carefully explained how Scotland is actually in surplus, how the calculations on UK spending misrepresent Scotland and why the bank bail out is not the disaster some would have us believe. Forget what you have been told. When the sums are done Scotland actually sends a small subsidy to England, not the other way around. The reason why YOU think YOUR country (England) subsidise Scotlad is because the Westminster Government hides some oil revenues from the North Sea as Extra Terrorial Revenue.
