Indeed it is - the city is on a shallow lagoon.

Was the European Union has its own flag anthem and day?
The European Union is an organisation not a country, so it does not have a national anthem or national flag or a national holiday. However it does have a piece of music associated with it. It is Beethoven's "Ode to Joy". The European Union has a flag, which is 12 gold stars arranged in a circle on a blue background. It also has a Europe Day, on the 9th of May, although there is also a Europe Day on the 5th of May. The 9th of May is not a holiday in all of the countries in the European Union, just a special day observed more by officials than the ordinary people. For ordinary people, it is just an ordinary day. The same is the case for the 5th of May.

How did the United Kingdom benefit from membership in the EU?
From my point of view - it hasn't gained any benefit at all ! We pay billions of pounds each yeah for 'membership' of the EU - in return, we get told which of our own laws we can and cannot enforce - we get flooded with illegal immigrants from countries thousands of miles away, who only want to come here because our welfare system will give them money from our taxes - even if they're here illegally !
It's high time we took back control of our island state and stopped contributing to a system that basically doesn't give a (hoot) about us !
Yes - it's a rant.. but I'm entitled to voice my opinion - like anyone else here ! Prove me wrong, people !
