Did You Know?
What makes Great Britain unique? It's hard to even know where to begin! Here are a few of our favorite "fun facts" about the United Kingdom:

• The first public zoo in England opened in London in 1829. It was also a world's first.
• Civil partnerships in the United Kingdom, granted under the Civil Partnership Act 2004, give same-sex couples rights and responsibilities identical to civil marriage. 21st December 2005 became the official day when Civil Partnerships become law.
• Windsor Castle is the largest royal home in the world. It is also the oldest still in use as a royal residence.
• Over 12,000 accidents happen per year when English people put on socks, pantyhose or other type stockings.
• Big Ben is not the name of the entire building that contains the clock. The name is actually what the bell inside the tower is called. The structure is actually called St. Stephen's Tower.
• The tallest Ferris wheel in Europe is housed in London. It was called Millennium Wheel, but has since been redubbed The London Eye.
• The English gulp down more tea than anyone else on Earth. Even though Americans enjoy their tea also, the English use about 20 times more.
