It's a country, just like Liechtenstein. A country can be a principality. a kingdom, a republic, etc., depending on its particular system.

[The Natural Philosopher]

strictly a principality is one that has a prince, a country has a count, and a kingdom a king or queen.

That was a weak bite ...

When were were an empire, we had an Emperor. When we were a kingdom we had a King. Now we're a country we have David Cameron.

Nonsense, it's an expensive irrelevance, a little like Scotland only thankfully less so.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Tabby saying something like:

If I'm waiting for a company/supplier to get back to me, it always pays to let the customer know what's going on, instead of letting them think they're being ignored or forgotten about. Simple, common courtesy is all it takes.

Well the saga continues. Gave up on the first gas man as he wasn't even returning our calls when he promised, so had a new gas man in. He quickly diagnosed it as the divertor valve and promised to come back another day.

So he came with a replacement one. But it was the wrong divertor valve so had had to get another.

So he came the next day with the correct divertor value, but couldn't reattach the plate heat exchanger to it, so had to get a new plate heat exchanger.

Today he came with the new plate heat exchanger, re-attached everything and couldn't get it going. Says it needs a new PCB.

So I wonder what it will be next. All I wanted was hot water, not half a new boiler!!!!!!!
