Some of the four countries have another official language: Scottish in Scotland and Welsh in Wales.
The parliamentary government is based in
England but has three decentralized administrations in the capitals of the other constituent countries of the United Kingdom. the most appropriate is to call them according to the country to which they belong: Northern Irish to Northern Ireland, Scottish to the inhabitant of Scotland, Welsh to which comes from Wales and English to England. It is not incorrect to refer to both British, Scottish and Welsh as "British" because they are all on the same island of Great Britain. However, there is a fairly marked nationalism in these countries for historical reasons, so it is more prudent and respectful to use the respective names.
Each country in the United Kingdom has its
own capital, but the official capital of the United Kingdom is London.
The state of the United Kingdom is made
up of four constituent countries, there is only one passport for all and it is British. What makes the difference between Great Britain and the United Kingdom is the geographical area, Northern Ireland is from the Island of Ireland and also, it belongs to the United Kingdom but not to Great Britain.
Great Britain: one of the 6,000 British Isles
and the largest made up of England, Scotland and Wales.
The second largest is the Island of Ireland, it is
made up of two different countries: The Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.
The Republic of Ireland is an independent
country that it doesn’t have a unitary situation with the United Kingdom, while Northern Ireland is one of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom. What's the best English music festival?
One of the most important music festivals in Great
Britain and in English-speaking countries is The Glastonbury Festival. This festival takes place during the last week of June and brings together great artists from the music scene, especially Anglo. It takes place near Pilton, a village located in Somerset County. The unusual thing about this festival is that it not only gathers artists of a musical type but also has guests who represent other arts. That is, there are comedy shows, cabaret, theater, circus, among others. The idea to create this festival came from Michael Eavis, an English farmer who came up with it when he saw an outdoor concert with Led Zepelin in 1970. Since that year, the Glastonbury Festival has been held not so regularly in Worthy Farm, Eavis's farm. This festival was influenced by the hippie vibe of the time and is musically led by genres such as rock and pop. In recent years it has had great television and newspaper coverage. There is a main platform where the most important artists appear and others located smaller with some other guests. Its periodicity has not been continuous but in each decade, since the 70s, they have had several versions of this festival. He has had performances by artists such as The Kinks, The Smiths, Oasis, Massive Attack, Jamiroquai, The Cure, Paul McCartney, The Who, among other bands and artists of international stature.
And do English people really drink a lot of tea?
Tea has become entreched in the British way of life,
from the humble tea break to the afternoon tea to be enjoyed, of course, at the very swankiest of London hotels. the British consumes 60 billion tea cups per year, That’s more than 900 cups a year for every man, woman and child in Great Britain.
it's worth trying to work out what it is exactly that
makes tea taste the way it does. Tea’s flavor is intimately affected by how it is grown, processed, and brewed. But if the intent is to make certain kinds of green tea from them, like matcha, growers will make sure they are carefully shaded with nets or mats. Less sun causes them to produce more chlorophyll as well as fewer polyphenols, a class of molecules that imparts tea’s unique astringency.
