What is the Difference Between the UK and Britain?

Whose Side is Cancer Research UK on?

I'm concerned also about various cancer charities in the US, and where the money goes. One of my pet peeves is the pink ribbon logo emblazoned on junk food items. Great article.

Whose Side is Cancer Research UK on?

My concern is the way in which cancer charities are run. CEOs take home massive salaries and the charities spend more on fundraising than on research. Here's a report from the Canadian Broadcasting Corp: "CBC's Marketplace analyzed the Canadian ...

5 Cautious Steps to Take to Make Money Writing at Content Mills

Ologsinquinto, I don't consider Wizzley a content mill either. For me is a revenue share site. Content mills to me are those that pay pennies (sometimes not even pennies) per word, and have set terms for their writers. Wizzley and sites like it ...

What is the Difference Between the UK and Britain?

I was reading about Lancashire a couple of nights ago. Someone was making the case for Southern Rheged pretty much being Lancashire today, while Yorkshire was the homeland of Norse people. Hence the root of the traditional rivalry between the ...

What is the Difference Between the UK and Britain?

The more history you know, the more you realize that ethnic divisions are arbitrary. In Lancashire we were Wales until 627 [c] when the Northumbrians conquered it. A few Angles moved in, but the bulk of the native population are of British ...

What is the Difference Between the UK and Britain?
