Interesting email from an Irish fellow about Irish kilts.

[Chas]

Close, but no cigar . The Kingdom of Ireland was a seperate kingdom from 1542 until the act of Union in 1801. So England did incorporate Wales as a principality but not Ireland, which remained a seperate kingdom until 200 years after Scotland was subsumed. Simples. You want meerkats, comparethemeerkat.com.

This joke will only work in the UK - but is very funny none the less.

Chas
