(LOL I DO understand the differences mate - when you bring Scotland, Ireland and even Whales into it all the names change around. But we're still talking about, you know, Merry Ol' whatever.)
Yeah, and if Vikings didn't take parts of England/Britain than how did y'all get all those Viking town names scattered throughout your lovely countryside? And you still haven't explained how FRENCH became the official language of the BRITISH (English whatever) Court. That must still sting after all these years, oui? :D

England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are countries in their own right.
England, Scotland and Wales make up Great Britain.
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland make up the United Kingdom.
England, Scotland, Wales, Northern and Southern Ireland make up the British Isles.
French was used in the English courts for a few centuries as it was seen as a "high class" language, a kind of snobbery. in no way was it ever imposed upon them by the French which is what you argued.
Yes, Vikings did settle in parts of Northern England but in no way did they conquer any of it, it was a peaceful settlement. the Vikings that raided the costal towns raided then left - it was just that , a raid.
I think your problem is that you don't understand the meaning of the word "conquer".

Oh god, the idiot is here. I really should put you on ignore like everyone else does.
Either you actually really do believe what you type, in which case I feel sorry for you (walking and chewing gum at the same time must be a big ambition for you). Or you are a very inept troll.
