Josh: Mum, I have to tell you something Miss Zipp told me.
Debs: OK
Josh: Miss Zipp said we are from the United Kingdom....but we're not, we're from England.
What a conflict for Joshua: his heroine Miss Zipp telling him something he doesn't think is true!!
Debs: Well, we are both. England is part of the United Kingdom.
Relief for Joshua. Faith in Miss Zipp has been restored.
Debs: So is Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Josh: What is Wales? I don't know that.
(I don't know why he thinks he knows the others!!)
Debs: Wales is where Aunty Ali is from. We went there when Uncle Tim and Aunty Ali got married. We stayed in a hotel by the beach. We have photos.
Josh: I don't remember that. Will you take me? Wales? That's strange.

Is Josh thinking of animal whales?
It then does make you wonder what Northern Ireland and Scotland represents?
Of the building of knowledge there is no end, isnt learning a wonderful process and how ignorant we become when we think we know it all!
