www.google.co.uk

i've emailed everyone i know at google, but they are all in the US so they're probably still in bed ... does anyone know anyone in the UK?

I'm shocked that Google do not show the same courtesy to England as they do to July 4th and March 17th - www.c3p0.se - sweden

hehe i wouldn't go that far
We carry the Union Jack on our flag still, though we've been a republic for almost 40yrs. St. George's flag makes up a third of the Union Jack.
Tattoo not required, i pay homage to the saints on a daily basis

www.google.co.uk
