wonderwall

An object of facination. Term originates from the title of an obscure 1960's British arthouse film about a guy who becomes obsessed with the young couple he can see making love through a small hole in his bedroom wall. More recently the term has been revived thanks to a song of the same name by brit poppers Oasis

Wonderwall (the song) was also a hit for spoof UK easy listerning band 'The Mike Flowers Pops'

Great Britain

An often misused term. Great Britain in the geographical sense refers to the largest of the 800+ islands that make up the British Isles.

In the political sense it refers to the union between Engalnd Scotland and Wales, and the central government of the same. (Add Northern Ireland into the equation and you get The United Kingdom)

Most people in Britain refer to themselves as English, Scottish or Welsh, Not British.
