>>Here in Canada - which is I don't know how many times the size of the
UK...<<
According to my Economist screensaver, Canada is 41 times bigger than the UK.
What surprised me when checking this out is that New Zealand is also bigger
than the UK, but only by a little. Wales, in comparison, is 460 times smaller
than Canada and although Canada has Leonard Cohen, Mags and of course, Joni;
Wales has David Grey, Gwynedd Jones, Tom Jones, Catherine Zeta-Jones, John
Cale, Anthony Hopkins, Sian Phillips, Bonnie Tyler, the Manic Street Preachers
and my not inconsiderable good self. IMHO, of course.
And you know there may be more...
