Hello James! How are you doing?! Thanks a lot for the invitation to your EC page and all your wishes for me :)! I appreciate it very much! And i was really surprised to see your pics with awesome views of the flight groups…it looks incredibly cool! But if its`s not a secret what`s the name of these groups and where did this show take place? By the way if you’re interested to know, there are some famous flight groups in Russia too, perhaps you even know it...«Russian Falcons», «The Swifts», «Russian Knights»…

4. Is healthcare free in Britain? a) Yes. b) It depends.

The answer is “b”. Britons pay tax for the National HealthService (NHS) – but even then it’s not all free! Emergency medical attention will be given to people free of charge, but treatment for long-term illnesses or injuries sometimes needs to be paid for.

5. What’s the most popular food in Britain? a) Curry. b) Fish and chips.

And the answer is… “a”. Many people think it’s fish and chips, but in most polls curry usually comes out on top. In fact, one of the most popular curries (Chicken Tikka Masala) is believed to have originated in Glasgow (Scotland). It’s often referred to as “Britain’s true national dish”.

That's all :)

Thanks for your interest :)

Have a nice day!

Hello James!!!

How are you doing?!!!

Sorry for such a long answer!

I'll give the explanations for all questions :) Ok?

1. Is Britain a country? a) Yes. b) No.

The answer is… “b” – no it isn’t! Britain (or Great Britain) is actually made up of England, Scotland and Wales – each of which are separate countries. The United Kingdom (the UK) refers to Britain and Northern Ireland.

2. What is England’s national anthem? a) It doesn’t have one. b) “God Save the Queen!”

The answer is “a” – England doesn’t have a national anthem. “God Save The Queen” is sometimes used as the national anthem of Britain. So, during the Olympic Games when Britain is competing, they use “God Save the Queen”. And when the England football team play an international team, it’s used. However, if England play Scotland or Wales, they often play the songs “Jerusalem” or “Land Of Hope And Glory” as Scotland and Wales have their own national anthems.

3. Which countries does the Queen rule over? a) The UK and all the countries in the Commonwealth. b) None.

The answer is “b”. Despite having a picture of her head on every piece of currency in the UK and the Commonwealth, the Queen actually has very little power. The UK is ruled by a government made up of elected politicians – the monarchy mainly represents Britain internationally. The Queen could technically dissolve parliament if she wanted to, but it’s unlikely she would try.

Hello James, when I received your message it was really morning here, now it is midday already. It is still cold and it was snowing in the morning but the sun is warm, and the birds are making their nests, so it's a sure sign that spring is coming. Spent days off at home because of the veeeery icy cold strong wind, which have broken a lot of tree branches. Will see your blog and let you know.
Have a nice day!
