Maybe they should re-name it "Mos Eisley"...

Fair enough Wackyman, but we Brits have heard our fair share of visitors struggling to pronounce our place names. And George W. Bush asking which "state" Wales was in.wackyman465 wrote:Thanks.
However, I do live in another suffolk (you can guess which) and happen to know how it's pronounced.

Actually, I've never quite understood this: what are Wales, Northern Ireland, Britain, and Scotland relative to the UK? Like there are islands that are part of Britain but not part of the UK, right? Are the aforementioned places sort of like states, or what?
I shot him back first. That is to say, I read his mind and fired before he would have fired on me. No, sir, he wasn't a fugitive.
The UK (United Kingdom) is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. GB (Great Britain) is England, Scotland and Wales (basically everything on the "big island"). England includes a few islands, like the Isle of Wight and some smaller ones, and in some respects places like Jersey, Guernsey etc (the Channel Islands), the Isle of Man and the Isles of Scilly. Scotland also contains a lot of highland islands, like the Orkneys and the Hebredies (look on a map).
But now Scotland has its own parliament, as does Northern Ireland. Wales has its own assembly, which isn't quite the same.
If you look on the British flag (the Union Flag, or Union Jack if it's flown on a ship), it contains the English flag (the Cross of St George), the N. Irish flag (Cross of St. Patrick) and the Scottish flag (Cross of St Andrew). It doesn't however contain the Welsh one (the flag of St David, aka the Welsh Dragon), as Wales historically was invaded by England, and so can't claim to be a distinct country.
Our rough equivalent of states are our counties (similar to your own ones within your states), as we're not quite as large as you are
