It's even the same for official forms !<BR/><BR/>Who maintains this list of country's and how do we get Scotland, Wales, England & Northern Ireland on to them ?!!?!<BR/><BR/>It must confuse any statistics which people run from this data, not being able to pin-point a user down to the actual country they live in ?<BR/><BR/>Argh!<BR/>MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10464003.post-1155479875784575452006-08-13T15:37:00.000+01:002006-08-13T15:37:00.000+01:00Ah, excellent.
