A thread for the non brits!

Re: A thread for the non brits!

I know it's not from England, but Guiness Cheddar is great.
I think Cheshire is from England, though, and it's also a nice cheese.

Is the Queen's last name Regina? or is that a title? Prince Phillip is a Mountbatten (sp?) I believe, though, but I don't think it was/is common for the monarch of a female nature to take on the spouse's last name.

A lot of names in England are hyphenated, with both spouses adopting each other's names, are they not?

Cheshire is a county in England, and also a type of cheese.

The name attributed to the Royal Family is Windsor, but not many people refer to them as that.

They hyphenated names you are talking of, are what we would call "Double Barrelled". They arent that common thankfully, but they do exist.
