England

Lots of famous people come from England and many more still live there. The list includes various historial figures, musicans, actors, authors, politicans etc. See related links for more information.

I understand that The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) specifies that average meteriogical data be calculated over a 30 year period, the most recent period of which ended in 1990. I thought that the UK also released this information annually but I cannot find it - sorry.

However, if you check with the Met office on their website - this is free btw - http://www.metoffice.gov.UK/climate/UK/averages/index.HTML - you can search for average sunshine, air frost, rainfall ect and select this information by month and by either country, county, region, town or individual weather station!

So the average annual rainfall in England during the period 1961-1990, according to the Met Office's records was 828mm (33 inches, or thereabouts!)

Hope this helps!

Wales is a part of the UK and as of such is not a sovereign country. Because of this Wales on its own doesn't have any borders. The UK as a whole shares borders with the Republic of Ireland. Wales is next to England but as they are both part of Britain and therefore the same country this isn't an official border.

On the North Bank is an area known as Canvey Island (in fact, not a real island at all) which is the site of an enormous oil storage terminal.

Beyond these points lie the Thames Marshes, from where the estuary flows into the English Channel.

The river Thames flows into the North Sea - not the English Channel.
