Re: Why UK?
I only went to Grammar School so I would perhaps like the sound of the word but secretly get out the dictionary.As a British National resident in an EU country,I was speaking to a Swedish friend yesterday & said that I would be better swimming across the English Channel even for a visit since no one can get in easily any other way it seems.
