Why does England have the worst football team in the world?
Q. Let's face it, England is totally crap at football, just like with the Eurovision song contest. The England team did so badly in the world cup only scoring a pathetic 1 point against Germany's 4 points that England is the laughing stock of the world. So why does England have the worst team in the world compared to every other country?

When did children in England start learning the metric system?
Q. In the book I'm reading, the author speaks from the perspective of an English girl aged about 31 years. We know the book takes place in the late 90s, which puts her birth year somewhere in the late 50's to early 60's. However, when she narrates she speaks of measurements such as "a van pulled up, maybe thirty yards." Being from America, I have little knowledge of measurements in England. Is this a typical way to measure? Thoughts? :) Thanks all. This is greatly appreciated.

How can I plan an England vacation, to see the beautiful parts of England like I see in movies?
Q. My family wants to visit England and possibly Scotland, and we want to see the beautiful countryside. I have young children, so we want to stay in safe areas.

Q. How did pollution in England during the Industrial Revolution affect the survival AND evolution of the peppered moth?
Asked by - Sun Mar 20 13:05:39 2011 - History - 2 Answers - Comments

A. The evolution of the peppered moth over the last two hundred years has been studied in detail. Originally, the vast majority of peppered moths had light colouration, which effectively camouflaged them against the light-coloured trees and lichens which they rested upon. However, because of widespread pollution during the Industrial Revolution in England, many of the lichens died out, and The trees that peppered moths rested on became blackened by soot, causing most of the light-coloured moths, or typica, to die off from predation. At the same time, the dark-coloured, or melanic, moths, carbonaria, flourished because of their ability to hide on the darkened trees. Since then, with improved environmental standards, light-coloured peppered… [cont.]

England could defend herself with the strength of the navy, while France had army strength.

I also think John Spector did the same thing, but just check the internet on him. Anyway good luck and if you neen me to email ebbsfleet ( I am a owner) my email is ohh..i you make it then the team should help you obtain a work visa which is something you cant get now.

Asked by - Fri Jul 31 10:58:04 2009 - Football (American) - 5 Answers - Comments

A. most of their formations don't tend to use a fullback. They play a lot of single back and spread formations. They can place Russ Hochstien in at fullback when they need one, they can also use LB's or Tight ends. The patriots had evans last season but he is with the jets now. They don't focus alot on the lead block type plays so its not that big of a deal to them.

However there are technical solutions to the problem including nuclear energy and renewables. The poor in both countries might even be better off because there would no longer be cheap foreign labor to drive down wages.

The only plus side is that the format fits neatly into a nice time period so the spectators can enjoy the game. As for the development of cricketers though! this type of cricket does nothing. No other country plays 40 over cricket, but for some strange reason in England we havent had a 50 over league in a long time. 40 over cricket is a completly different game compared to 50 overs.
