Subject: [Leica] OT: What about England

I was listening to the news today and I heard a reporter sign off from
London, England.

Someplace along the line I was bashed pretty hard (not here) about there
being a United Kingdom but that England wasn't precisely a place. So I've
always used U.K.

What's "correct" and what's general usage. And does it really matter?

I'm curious and wanted to know.

An aside: Has anyone tried the McCallan Scotch that's aged in oak wine
barrels? It sure sounds mellow to me. Read about it in the Wall Street
Journal's article on Scotch that was out this weekend.

Thanks!

Adam
