Just from a purely nerdy perspective, for those wondering. the "GB = United Kingdom" mixup is due to ISO-3166, the international standard for country codes. It specifies the "official standard" for country abbreviations around the world and in it, the United Kingdom is specified as GB/GBR. HOWEVER, Ukraine is specified as UA/UKR. You will note that it was UK, not UA, so my best guess would either be a random system of abbreviations that someone at the agency came up with or it could be that they took the 3 letter codes and cut off the last letter. The latter however, I imagine, would cause some collisions with identical codes.
@@counterleo those are now UK plates, or you can have your constituent country/territory. But if you don't do the UK ones you need the sticker when going abroad.
French governmental websites/services don't like standards and good programming practices, because why the fuck not pay millions of euros to some MSPs to produce an unmaintainable code with the quality and the speed of a 10th grader ?

Technically Wales weren’t a constituent country of the UK as they were considered a part on England. That’s why a lot of stuff is “England and Wales” like the justice system and until devolution schools and the NHS. Devolution was when Wales was recognised as being different.
Specifically Wales was initially conquered way back in 1283 and held in essentially personal union: the king of england was the prince of wales, though most of it was administered by the marcher lords, and while english criminal law applied welsh civil law otherwise remained. Wales revolted in the early 15th century, and after crushing the welsh rebellion England decided that the reason for the revolt was the existence of a distinct welsh identity, so decided to formally annex Wales, unifying the legal, political and administrative systems (= applying English everything to Wales, including replacing Welsh as the language of the courts). From there on and until the the start of devolution Wales effectively didn't exist. In 1979 Wales actually voted against devolution 4:1 (a second referendum would pass, barely, in 1997). Scotland however, entered a bipartite *political union* with England (the Treaty of Union, voted on by both the Scots Parliament and the Parliament of England) after a century of personal union: James VI King of Scots inherited the throne of England, so he was the sole monarch of two separate and independent countries (three when you include the Kingdom of Ireland) each with their otherwise separate political and legal systems. Ireland somewhat likewise (the Act of Union was voted on in 1800), except it then managed to prosecute a mostly successful war of independence.
Just to be pernickity... for fun.... 😁 The UK flag is only called "Union Jack" when it is flying on board ship. Otherwise, it should be called the "Union Flag". According to your friend Wiki : "The 'Jack' part comes from the name for a small maritime flag. Since before 1600, 'jack' has been used to describe a small flag flown from the mast of a ship - so, when a small version of the Union Jack started to be flown around 1627, it was often referred to as the jack, jack flag or King's jack."

It's because Wales for along time was not considered a country in it's own right until devolution. It's why it's legal system is the same as England's.

I don’t want to ruin the party but it’s completely normal. Why would you write UK which is literally your country in a language other than French in a French form? The fact it means Ukraine is Just another topic. I have literally seen nobody, including Brits put: “pays d’origine : UK”. They would put Royaume-Uni or sometimes angleterre (because the French use that a lot and every day speech) or grande Bretagne. But you’re funny :)
I am French and no! What you call France is the Hexagone plus Corsica = Métropole. France (in French) includes 'other-sea' department. You can't know that unless you go to school in France. On Google search, when type in "French map" in German ("Karte Frankreich") , English (map of France) and then in French ("Carte de France") you see 3 different results. German , Hexagone > English , Metropole (bigger) > French, France (biggest) "In French" we are the 6th biggest country in the world in land surface, and 2nd in sea territory...but even lot of "Frenchies' don't know about that😂
Of course it's called "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", what did you expect from the country that has a town named Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?

It's be better to be black. It would look cooler, blue is basically just a light shade of black (in some languages that is literally the translation of the word "blue") so it makes sense in that regard to just make the blur darker, so dark it's black. And the main reason is because the Welsh cross of David has a black background. The Welsh cross of David is also a yellow cross so perhaps making the white around the English cross yellow might also be nice. But Scottish independence is still unlikely to happen anytime soon, nor is Wales likely to get representation on the flag unfortunately...
C’est drôle parce que vu le contexte dans lequel se trouvent l’Ukraine (UK) et la Russie (RU) bah Paul faut que tu choisisses entre les deux Nationalités alors que les deux veulent dire tout simplement que t’es anglais mais vu la situation de guerre entre les deux faudra que tu choisisses d’où tu viens le Royaume Uni ou le United Kingdom (bref) 😂😂😂 mal barré avec le conflit Russo-Ukrainien le Britannique !!
Eh beh. Si même les anglais savent pas la différence entre Royaume-Uni, Grande Bretagne et Angleterre, j'me demande comment j'ai déduis ça tout seul sans jamais avoir vérifié quand j'étais gamin...
i've heard the four countries of the UK being refered to as Counties.. which has the benefit of being easier...until you realise that the UK also has a smaller set of subdivitions called counties (similar to belgian and canadian provinces and french departements)... also are the isle of man and the channel islands part of GB? (because i can see why the hebrides are, but the other islends look to be right in the middle of their respecive sea) and why is welsh recognised as a county but cornwall is not despite: wales being included into the english part of the flag of the UK (probably for aesthetic reasons) , both countries having a different cultural identity, language, flag and having been annexed by england at around the same time
I have never heard anyone referring to the four countries of the UK as counties: Certainly not in the UK. What you may have heard in the past (and unfortunately still today) is some people in England - and only in England - referring to the other three countries as "regions". This regularly causes outspoken annoyance in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and the UK government has been forced to change its practice and publish all public statistics for "the countries of the UK and the regions of England". The Isle of Man and the Channel Islands are not part of the UK. They are autonomous Crown Dependencies. They have their own governments, their own laws, print their own banknotes, issue their own passports. However their people do have British citizenship and the UK government takes charge of foreign policy and defence for them. Wales is recognised as a country because although it was under English control ever since the 14th century, it was not incorporated into England's administrative and legal system until 1536. Cornwall, on the other hand, was already under the control of English kings from as far back as the 9th century.

@@anriettecooper6935 you don't have same taxes, same customs rights, same house of commons and prime minister, even if you have parliament in each nations and prime minister in each nations too, you have one prime minister for the whole uk to "govern them all"lol. So you have nations with the right to decide what they want but you have a whole country inside which all the nations are agree to be in. A nation is a people who recognize as one. A country is a geographic zone with a same administration or in your case an united of nations which are agree to be together....
And England doesn't decide alone what to do and don't have border with scotland. As he explains, the only thing where you're separate is sport. So you're not a country.
I have an idea, the French government should hear me out on this one, what if... They just note the *whole* name of the country instead of a few letters, maybe stop being lazy and start being clearer ? And if Scotland gets independent, they should include Wales on the flag by changing the blue to green.
Yes, let’s write : United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Reino de España, Repubblica Italiana, Bundesrepublik Deutschland or my favourite : Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft/Confédération suisse/Confederazione Svizzera/Confederaziun svizra/Confoederatio helvetica
so... for a french, a united kingdom is not a country name. otherwise many countries should be named "Republic" or "Kingdom"... which is weird. the France is not named "Republic", even it's république française. So your country name begin with united kingdom of (... that's the point...) Great Britain and... something else too long for us to remember (lol). We like shortening names : so it's Great-Britain, GB. that's enough for the perfide Albion, isn't it ? 🤣
From what I gather the Welsh don't want to be there more than the Scots so I'm not sure they really want to be on the flag as much they would like their country language and culture back
Gathered where? "A YouGov poll in January 2021 found that 31% of people in Wales support holding a referendum on Welsh independence within the next five years with 47% opposing."
Funny enough United Kingdom is abbreviated GB or GBR, and Ukraine is abbreviated UA or UKR. There is no country which is abbreviated UK, according to the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO). Go figure.
so true what he tells 😂😂 that's the worst. I admit, the first time, I didn't know what was the difference between Great Britain, united Kingdom and the others names as just England. Also,indeed, I've never understand why Wales isn't on the flag, it's mysterious because it doesn't make sense 😂😂
ça fait un bail que c'est plus le cas, c'est "l'outre-mer", donc il y a les départements et régions d'outre-mer, les collectivités d'outre-mer, une collectivité sui generis, un territoire d'outre-mer et une propriété domaniale de l'état.
@@josianecoste8740 DOM and TOM have actually evolved in the recent years I believe. But in a nutshell, they both refer to overseas French territories. Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion would be DOM (Department d'Outre Mer) and places like Mayotte or Nouvelle Caledonie would be TOM (Territoire d'Outre Mer). My brother lives in St Martin, on the French side of the island (which shares a border with the Netherlands, for good measure). They used to be attached to Guadeloupe (DOM) but now have received some sort of independence from it, all the while remaining French. Know what? Paul's right, this is all SHIT :D

And it’s heaven worse than you think because the United Kingdom has overseas territories and is part of the British Isles with the Republic of Ireland. So you both have some non British people whose territory is on the British Isles and some British people whose territory is not on the British isles. ‘And of course, they all speak in English but some of them gets very angry if they are called English people when they do so.

I don’t want to ruin the party but it’s completely normal. Why would you write UK which is literally your country in a language other than French in a French form? The fact it means Ukraine is Just another topic. I have literally seen nobody, including Brits put: “pays d’origine : UK”. They would put Royaume-Uni or sometimes angleterre (because the French use that a lot and every day speech) or grande Bretagne. But you’re funny :)
I am French and no! What you call France is the Hexagone plus Corsica = Métropole. France (in French) includes 'other-sea' department.
You can't know that unless you go to school in France.
On Google search, when type in "French map" in German ("Karte Frankreich") , English (map of France) and then in French ("Carte de France") you see 3 different results.
German , Hexagone > English , Metropole (bigger) > French, France (biggest)
"In French" we are the 6th biggest country in the world in land surface, and 2nd in sea territory...but even lot of "Frenchies' don't know about that😂
Of course it's called "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland", what did you expect from the country that has a town named Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch?
That's why they're not on the flag. That town is the reason lol
ensuite il y a des saxons aussi et l'empire britanique mais ça reste un kingdom avec un king. surement pour resumer à une epoque ou les francais savaient lire mais pas les anglais.
So, in the future, French students are going to learn that R(oyaume) U(nis) were in conflict with the UK. Interesting.
No. Because this whole sketch is nothing more than that: a sketch. No french would think UK means Ukraine, that's the weirdest thing I ever heard, but even less that ANG means Angola, come on, nobody will think "Angola" before "Angleterre".

@@Hadeshy désolé mon coco, mais ANG me fait bien plus vite penser à l'Angola que l'Angleterre.
Parce qu'il gardent le même nom dans sa langue officielle; c'est également pour cela que j'ai tendance à utiliser ENG pour l'Angleterre.
Assumer que tout le monde partage ton ressenti était donc une erreur.
@@titouanboulanger6877 Nah dude, c'est ton ressentit ça lmao. Demande à des gens autour de toi- sans les influencer- à quel pays ANG les fait penser, et revient me dire combien ont répondu Angola
@@Hadeshy même si mon entourage se range de ton côté, tu auras toujours tort et j'aurai toujours raison.
car tu as dit "No French", ce qui reste faux par ma faute, et j'ai dit "me", ce qui ne peux être rendu vrai par une quelconque opposition

Quel b*rdel!
Such a mess!
I'm lost... 😵
Merveilleux, j’ai enfin compris quelque chose....😂😂😂
Je capte pas là les gallois ont pas amené les Tudors sur le trône ?
In the event that would happen... Why not turn the blue to green on the Union Jack to accommodate the Wales demand?
Because Scotland is still part of the UK!
It's be better to be black. It would look cooler, blue is basically just a light shade of black (in some languages that is literally the translation of the word "blue") so it makes sense in that regard to just make the blur darker, so dark it's black. And the main reason is because the Welsh cross of David has a black background.
The Welsh cross of David is also a yellow cross so perhaps making the white around the English cross yellow might also be nice.
But Scottish independence is still unlikely to happen anytime soon, nor is Wales likely to get representation on the flag unfortunately...
C’est drôle parce que vu le contexte dans lequel se trouvent l’Ukraine (UK) et la Russie (RU) bah Paul faut que tu choisisses entre les deux Nationalités alors que les deux veulent dire tout simplement que t’es anglais mais vu la situation de guerre entre les deux faudra que tu choisisses d’où tu viens le Royaume Uni ou le United Kingdom (bref) 😂😂😂 mal barré avec le conflit Russo-Ukrainien le Britannique !!
Eh beh. Si même les anglais savent pas la différence entre Royaume-Uni, Grande Bretagne et Angleterre, j'me demande comment j'ai déduis ça tout seul sans jamais avoir vérifié quand j'étais gamin...
i've heard the four countries of the UK being refered to as Counties.. which has the benefit of being easier...until you realise that the UK also has a smaller set of subdivitions called counties (similar to belgian and canadian provinces and french departements)... also are the isle of man and the channel islands part of GB? (because i can see why the hebrides are, but the other islends look to be right in the middle of their respecive sea) and why is welsh recognised as a county but cornwall is not despite: wales being included into the english part of the flag of the UK (probably for aesthetic reasons) , both countries having a different cultural identity, language, flag and having been annexed by england at around the same time
I have never heard anyone referring to the four countries of the UK as counties: Certainly not in the UK. What you may have heard in the past (and unfortunately still today) is some people in England - and only in England - referring to the other three countries as "regions". This regularly causes outspoken annoyance in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and the UK government has been forced to change its practice and publish all public statistics for "the countries of the UK and the regions of England".
The Isle of Man and the Channel Islands are not part of the UK. They are autonomous Crown Dependencies. They have their own governments, their own laws, print their own banknotes, issue their own passports. However their people do have British citizenship and the UK government takes charge of foreign policy and defence for them.
Wales is recognised as a country because although it was under English control ever since the 14th century, it was not incorporated into England's administrative and legal system until 1536. Cornwall, on the other hand, was already under the control of English kings from as far back as the 9th century.
@@alicemilne1444 thanks for the clarification
J'exporte le tissu d'un de mes clients vers la Tunisie. Le client me communique les factures commerciales qui font état de l'origine de la marchandise afin que j'établisse - ou pas - un EUR1 qui épargnera à l'importateur le paiement der droits de douane de cas de marchandise d'origine UE. J'ai eu un cas où la mention UK sur une facture renvoyait à Ukraine.
Oh purée!
with the same idea, when i was younger when people ask if I can speak fluently english I belived they ask "si je peux parler anglais avec des flatulences" J'ai raté qq entretiens d'embauches ;-)
Really. In French when you write UK, we think Ukraine 😂😂
I’m very confused as to whether this is meant for french people or for english speaking viewers?
I guess most french people actually understand both although we pretend we don't speak english?
I never thought about doing a full bilingual sketch.
I like it though! thanks for this moment!
the union flag if the welsh where include it would use St David's flag which is black with a yellow cross on it
Il est très bon !!
canibalisme ?
I’m a French Canadian and UK means United Kingdom lol
England is nation. UK is a country and nations union
England is a country
@@anriettecooper6935 no United kingdom is a country.
@@anriettecooper6935 you don't have same taxes, same customs rights, same house of commons and prime minister, even if you have parliament in each nations and prime minister in each nations too, you have one prime minister for the whole uk to "govern them all"lol. So you have nations with the right to decide what they want but you have a whole country inside which all the nations are agree to be in. A nation is a people who recognize as one. A country is a geographic zone with a same administration or in your case an united of nations which are agree to be together....
*sorry, YOU HAVE
And England doesn't decide alone what to do and don't have border with scotland. As he explains, the only thing where you're separate is sport. So you're not a country.
😂😂 exact
I have an idea, the French government should hear me out on this one, what if... They just note the *whole* name of the country instead of a few letters, maybe stop being lazy and start being clearer ?
And if Scotland gets independent, they should include Wales on the flag by changing the blue to green.
Yes, let’s write : United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Reino de España, Repubblica Italiana, Bundesrepublik Deutschland or my favourite : Schweizerische Eidgenossenschaft/Confédération suisse/Confederazione Svizzera/Confederaziun svizra/Confoederatio helvetica
As a french, it does sound like a lie.
Or, the person who handled his file is incredibly incompetent.
Non
And GB Great Britain. Grande Bretagne. Gross Britanien.
I'm still a bit confused... lol
Génie
Pour moi ça a toujours été United Kingdom, je ne me suis jamais posé ce genre de problématique ^^
You should just be happy that they didn't put down Angleterre when you're from Scotland. -_-;:
so... for a french, a united kingdom is not a country name. otherwise many countries should be named "Republic" or "Kingdom"... which is weird. the France is not named "Republic", even it's république française. So your country name begin with united kingdom of (... that's the point...) Great Britain and... something else too long for us to remember (lol). We like shortening names : so it's Great-Britain, GB. that's enough for the perfide Albion, isn't it ? 🤣
Casse de rire !
Merci
Just bought my ticket for the Brussels venue.
Ça te laisse quelques mois pour apprendre le flamand. Allez HOP au boulot !

1:54 Non! C’est et aussi (Jk)
How come they don't just use the 2 letter ISO country codes?
They do. And it's GB for the whole of the UK. Which doesn't make much sense but it is what it is.
From what I gather the Welsh don't want to be there more than the Scots so I'm not sure they really want to be on the flag as much they would like their country language and culture back
Gathered where? "A YouGov poll in January 2021 found that 31% of people in Wales support holding a referendum on Welsh independence within the next five years with 47% opposing."
I'm french and I use UK for united kingdom... but maybe french who don't speak english use it for Ukraine
Toujours aussi génial
Funny enough United Kingdom is abbreviated GB or GBR, and Ukraine is abbreviated UA or UKR. There is no country which is abbreviated UK, according to the International Organisation for Standardization (ISO). Go figure.
so true what he tells 😂😂 that's the worst.
I admit, the first time, I didn't know what was the difference between Great Britain, united Kingdom and the others names as just England.
Also,indeed, I've never understand why Wales isn't on the flag, it's mysterious because it doesn't make sense 😂😂
No
No Paul, there are France , D.O.M and T.O.M and CORSE! 😂😂
Explain please what you mean by DOM and TOM to a foreigner and maybe some French
ça fait un bail que c'est plus le cas, c'est "l'outre-mer", donc il y a les départements et régions d'outre-mer, les collectivités d'outre-mer, une collectivité sui generis, un territoire d'outre-mer et une propriété domaniale de l'état.
@@josianecoste8740 DOM and TOM have actually evolved in the recent years I believe. But in a nutshell, they both refer to overseas French territories. Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion would be DOM (Department d'Outre Mer) and places like Mayotte or Nouvelle Caledonie would be TOM (Territoire d'Outre Mer). My brother lives in St Martin, on the French side of the island (which shares a border with the Netherlands, for good measure). They used to be attached to Guadeloupe (DOM) but now have received some sort of independence from it, all the while remaining French. Know what? Paul's right, this is all SHIT :D
Even going down this path, UK is even more of a mess: there are also other territories (Falklands, Gibraltar...), and then there's the commonwealth thing, some of the belonging countries having Charles as their sovereign, while other ones not...
Oula un séparatiste
Average french enjoying sketches in both languages
same
Si je pouvais parler aussi bien l'anglais que toi, tu parles le français, je serais fière ;)

Maybe you should not be from GBin the first place
No.
It’s UKR for Ukraine and RU for the United Kingdom ( Royaume-Uni ).
In English, you mean .
But Yes RU for ROYAUME Uni
No, Ukraine is UA
I'm french and UK is United Kingdom
Non non, United Kingdom 😂
Cela dépend du contexte, et quelque part l'usage très français des acronymes mérite bien d'être moqué. Mais tout cela est très anecdotique.
no it's not

@@Tranceplant82 well, maybe it's a question of taste but for me swearwords are like a spice, if you add too much of it it's too much. Compare with "Thomas Wiesel" for example.
@@konradbanys2239 Yeah I love PT but recently the swearing and the "forced shouting" voice has been half of his personality... A shame, because the jokes are bants
And it’s heaven worse than you think because the United Kingdom has overseas territories and is part of the British Isles with the Republic of Ireland.
So you both have some non British people whose territory is on the British Isles and some British people whose territory is not on the British isles.
‘And of course, they all speak in English but some of them gets very angry if they are called English people when they do so.
I just can’t know if I hate you or if I love you for that. 😂😂😂
