Edinburgh, England
That's, ah, Edinburgh, _Scotland_, actually - or Edinburgh, Great Britain or Edinburgh, United Kingdom, or Edinburgh, Albion, or Edinburgh, Britannia, or ....
Saying 'England' for 'Britain' abroad is quite usual but saying 'Edinburgh, _England_' is not quite geographically accurate - and may draw the occasional comment from the natives :-) ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Dear Jorge,
Maybe this could help to understand the different names... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10
Fun to watch, even though the facts are of course boringly familiar to anyone born here. Three small errors - British is not an objected-to term for the nationality - it is widely used. (To be fair, I think the speaker is just joking here.) - Great Britain derives from 'Greater Britain' the term introduced after 1603 to desitgnate the union of Scotland with the rest. It therefore includes all the Scottish islands (and any that are part of England and Wales) and so the video is wrong in its colouring and when it says the term is 'sometimes used wrongly'). - The commonwealth is the British Empire old boys club and while it does not include all former members, it does include many, for example India, in addition to the group the video identifies. So it's a starter but viewers would undoubtly need an 'advanced geography' follow-up course before they had mastered the subject. Perhaps we could offer it at ESUG, coded in Smalltalk of course. :-) Meanwhile, if anyone is acting on the 'Please distribute widely' request in the mailing, please correct (to 'Edinburgh Scotland' or 'Edinburgh, UK', according to taste) before doing so. Yours faithfully Niall Ross

Hi Naill! Thanks for the corrections. I hope to have the chance to be there, and see the explanation in Smalltalk, great idea! :D Cheers, Jorge On Wed, Mar 2, 2011 at 9:55 AM, Niall Ross <nfr@bigwig.net> wrote:
