The UK bears some striking resemblances to Dr. Who's Tardis. It may look small on a map but is in fact chuffing enormous. How else do you think we can shoe-horn a population of 60 million onto these islands?

Rule Britania!!!

For those of a more scientific nature here are some quick facts comparing the size of the UK, California and Oregan courtesy of National Geographic...

UK
Area
244,101 sq km (94,248 sq mi)

Population
59,364,000

California
Area
411,470 sq km (158,869 sq mi)

Population
32,667,000

Oregan
Area
251,571 sq km (97,132 sq mi)

Population
3,282,000


Micah and Quicky were spot on apart from the driving across it comment. Our national road system sucks! The M25 is in a class all of it's own for going nowhere quick.

By the way, Oregan must be REALLY boring...

I had said assuming there was no traffic ... I was just trying to guage the size. It takes me about 3 hours to get to Vegas and about 3 hours to get to mexico ... But if I get caught in that 405 traffic, it could take me a week.

I'm not ragging on the UK ... I just never knew it's actual size so I was trying to compare it to something I know (socal ... )

The UK, Living proof that it's what you do with it, not the size that counts.

The roads to Vegas on most part are str8 and long. There was nothing to obstruct their installment of the road, just desert.

If there was a road that was completely linear across the UK, west to east, I bet you could drive across (with no traffic) in a few hours.

That would still be an impossible task, coz if we had a road like that, then the police would fill it with speed traps and drop the limit down to 30mph....just so they can make an easy buck

Plus there would be non-stop road works and some crazy contra-flows...

Micah this Island ain't very big! But if the damn government would use the road TAX for road construction you MIGHT make it half way in a day! If you were lucky! Does the term BACK WOODS mean anything to you! Honestly you can't do 30 miles in under 45mins to an hour here!
