Thank you kind sir. It is used loosely. Royal Britannia was more about the empire, which is pretty much non existent. It’s called a commonwealth now and there are no red coats
The all seem very friendly, it’s really nice to see
As a kid, I recall my late father always said 'Son, we're about to leave for good ole Britannia, he was a member of the merchant navy here in Finland, and was definitely a big anglophile
He would have been sailing for Surrey Docks in SE London I expect, I lived there
Most folk are really I suppose. I'm from the North East of Scotland originally but my family is from Manchester.
Welcome to the forum another UK member here. Very friendly lot here and the Craic is very good. I know of at least three members of the forum who live very near you in Sussex I'm sure they will make themselves known to you.
Great! Local pipe smokers welcome. I know not one pipe smoker physically
Same here 2019 I saw four pipe smokers.Three St Bruno and one Clan that’s all they smoke and that was at a Bluegrass Festival.
Greetings from the former colonies. I grew up in Malaysia and now live in the US Pacific northwest.
Welcome to the forum from Knik River, Alaska!
My lineage is all Scotch-Irish. Family came to what would become the US in 1750 from County Cork and County Clare Ireland settling in Pennsylvania. As the frontier moved west, so did we. Missouri, then Washington, and finally Alaska. I come from a long line of fringe-dwellers, hahaha.
We just kept going west until we ran out of west.

In legal terms, for what it's worth, I believe England is England, Britain is England & Wales, Great Britain is England, Wales, & Scotland, & the UK is those three plus Northern Ireland.
Amazing story. Pioneers. Trust the Irish not to stay still
Indeed! Well, I won't be going any further west I can tell you that! Only option west of here in this fine country of ours is Little Diomede Island, and living on a remote treeless island in the middle of the ocean surviving on Walrus liver and pilot bread does not sound appealing. I'll stay where the moose are, haha.
I’m pretty sure Smoking Pipes don’t deliver there either.
Haha, actually they do! Mail is delivered once a week when weather allows via a USPS third party contractor that operates a helicopter. The service contract costs $300,000 per year and serves 147 residents, hahaha.
Much better than it used to be though, which was walrus skinned boats and the occasional (a few times a year at best) airdrop.
