What about the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ?

Or the multiple Kingdoms which existed on both islands 1,000 + years ago ?

Historically just about the oldest recognisable country in Europe is France and even it's borders have shifted on multiple occasions.

I used to work with a guy who was very insistent that he was Czechoslovak.

Not Czech nor Slovak but Czechoslovak !

Seemingly his Mother was one and his Father the other and he took great pride in his hybrid identity and allegiance to a country which no longer exists.

Probably loads of folk like that in the former Yugoslavia and USSR as well.

I see your 80p Lidl loaf and raise you Marks and Spencer 75p.

Despite their upmarket reputation theyre surprisingly reasonably priced on a lot of staples.

such as tv programs

People do view TV Channels across timezone boundaries right now.

A lot of folk in the Netherlands and Belgium watch British TV and North America, Australia, Russia etc must have lots of TV channels with audiences spread across more than one timezone.

To say noting of migrant workers/families in various countries who largely shun the local TV channels in favour of satellite/internet TV from their home country. (Indeed the advent of internet TV is making the concept of TV schedules pretty obsolete anyhows)

How do they cope ?
