England (  /'??gl?nd/ (help·info)) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom. [5][6][7] It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west; the Irish Sea is to the north west, the Celtic Sea to the south west and the North Sea to the east, with the English Channel to the south separating it from continental Europe. The mainland of England consists of the central and southern part of the island of Great Britain in the North Atlantic, but England also includes over 100&_160;smaller islands such as the Isles of Scilly and the Isle of Wight. The area now called England has been settled by people of various cultures for about 35,000&_160;years,[8] but it takes its name from the Angles, one of the Germanic tribes who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries. England became a unified state in AD&_160;927, and since the Age of Discovery, which began during the 15th century, has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world.[9] The English language, the Anglican Church, and English law—the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world—developed in England, and the country's parliamentary system of government has been widely adopted by other nations.[10] The Industrial Revolution began in 18th-century England, transforming the country into the world's first industrialised nation,[11] and its Royal Society laid the foundations of modern experimental science.[12] Most of England is lowland, but there are upland regions in the north (for example, the Lake District, Pennines, and Yorkshire Moors) and in the south and south west (for example, Dartmoor, the Cotswolds, and the North and South Downs). London, England's capital, is the largest metropolitan area in the United Kingdom and the largest urban zone in the European Union by most measures.[note 1] England's population is about 51&_160;million, around 84% of the population of the United Kingdom, and is largely concentrated in London, the South East and conurbations in the Midlands, the North West, the North East and Yorkshire, which developed as major industrial regions during the 19th century. The Kingdom of England—which included Wales—was a sovereign state until 1&_160;May 1707, when the Acts of Union put into effect the terms agreed in the Treaty of Union the previous year, resulting in a political union with the Kingdom of Scotland to create the new Kingdom of Great Britain.[13] In 1800, Great Britain was united with Ireland through another Act of Union to become the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1922 the Irish Free State was established as a separate dominion, but the Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act in 1927 reincorporated into the kingdom six Irish counties to officially create the current United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

19. Money 4 Gold a Simple and Profitable Transaction
November 04, 2009
Gold has been the hedge against fiat money (money created by governments) for centuries, especially since the governments have declared that fiat money is legal tender (money that must be taken to settle a debt). Not that the safe haven of gold has not been compromised by governments either clipping coins, as the kings of England liked to do, or as in 1933 when the United States confiscated large quantities of gold. Right now gold is a safe haven as a commodity for hedging against inflation. Most people are not carrying around gold coins in their pockets as they did in the 1930's, therefore, g... (read more)

November 04, 2009
People thinking of re-mortgaging to enjoy the savings brought by recent interest rate cuts may be in for a nasty surprise. The Bank of England cut interest rates by 0.25 per cent in December, and is widely predicted to make another 0.25 per cent cut on February 7. "A quarter-point rate cut on Thursday looks pretty much a done deal in the face of tightening credit conditions," said Andrew Smith, chief economist at KPMG.
