Population

Under 15 years of age 18% 15-64 years of age 66.3% 65 years of age and over 15.7% The proportion of population of pensionable age is increasing. People are living longer. Their life expectancy at birth is over 70 years in the developed world (improvement in health care, medicines and people's diets). The ethnic minority population has a younger age structure than the white population. Why British not English? Many foreigners say "England" and "English" when they mean "Britain", or the "UK", and "British". This is very annoying for the 5 million people who live in Scotland (the Scottish), the 2.8 million people in Wales (the Welsh) and 1.5 million in Northern Ireland (the Irish) who are certainly not English. However, the people from Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England are all British. What makes the Scottish, Welsh, English and Northern Irish different from each other

The Saxons & Vikings

The invaders came from 3 powerful tribes: · The Saxons ­ settled from the Thames Estuary westwards, in the south of England; they formed the kingdoms of Sussex, Wessex, Essex & Middlesex · The Angles ­ settled in East Anglia, the Midlands & Northumbria · The Jutes ­ settled mainly in Kent, Hampshire & the Isle of Wight The name Jutes died out & the conquerors are generally referred to as the Anglo-Saxons. At first they spoke various dialects, but gradually the dialect of the Angles of Mercia became predominant. The Anglo-Saxon migration gave the larger part of Britain its new name, England, ,,The land of the Angles". The British Celts were slowly pushed westwards. Finally most were driven into the mountains in the far west, which the Saxons called ,,Wales". Some were driven into Cornwall, where they later accepted the rule of Saxon lords and northward to Strathclyde. Further north lived the Picts and Scots

TheCodeBreakers

Some of the things you will learn in THE CODEBREAKERS • How secret Japanese messages were decoded in Washington hours before Pearl Harbor. • How German codebreakers helped usher in the Russian Revolution. • How John F. Kennedy escaped capture in the Pacific because the Japanese failed to solve a simple cipher. • How codebreaking determined a presidential election, convicted an underworld syndicate head, won the battle of Midway, led to cruel Allied defeats in North Africa, and broke up a vast Nazi spy ring. • How one American became the world's most famous codebreaker, and another became the world's greatest. • How codes and codebreakers operate today within the secret agencies of the U.S. and Russia. • And incredibly much more. "For many evenings of gripping reading, no better choice can be made than this book." —Christian Science Monitor THE Codebreakers

BRITISH NATIONAL SYMBOLS

which all the other Scandinavian Cross flags have originated, can claim a direct link to the Crusader Cross. St. George's Cross of England, as one part of the modem Union Jack reflecting the political development of the United Kingdom. 8 The Cross of St George, originally seen as a less important flag, became as a result the flag to symbolise England, and the English trading companies started to use St. George as a basis for their own flags and in order to identify themselves at sea. The Cross of St. George, earlier accounted for, has been traced back to 1348, when Edward III made St. George the patron saint of the Order of the Garter. Later, after the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, Henry V ordered all soldiers siding with the English to wear a band with the colours of St. George. Although St
