MAP OF UK

climate of Britain


The British climate is a temperate climate. Situated about half way between the equator and the poles, it is usually characterised by pleasant if changeable weather conditions. Summers are normally not too hot with the highest temperatures rarely rising above 32°C except perhaps in the southeast. Winters are generally mild, influenced by the warm air that comes from the Atlantic Ocean. Frosts are common but the temperature rarely falls below -10°C. The difference between the average summer and winter temperature in most parts of Britain (including both day and night time temperatures) is only about 12°C. In some parts of Russia, for example Siberia, this difference can be as much as 40°C.

Different parts of the British Isles receive different amounts of rainfall. More falls in the west and north, particular in Scotland, the Lake District and Wales, where hills and mountains increase the amount of rain received. In some parts of Scotland it can rain or snow on as many as 300 days in a year. In East Anglia by contrast, rainfall is much lower, and dry summers can receive very little rainfall indeed.

The British Isles lie in the path of bad weather systems called depressions that come in from the Atlantic. These bring wind and rain, but usually mild air, unless this veers around to the north. For this reason, the climate of the British Isles can change from one day to the next.

Population of Britain

Britain ranks 18th in the world in terms of population size.
The population is very unequally distributed over the four parts of the UK:
England more or less constantly makes up 84% of the total population, Wales around 5%, Scotland roughly 8.5 %, and Northern Ireland (since 1921) less than 3%.
The population of the United Kingdom was estimated to be 60,975,000 in mid-2007, up by 388,000 (0.6 per cent) on the previous year and nearly two million more than in mid-2001

WEDDING INVITATION

lancastrian family tree

the wedding of william and kate

Since Prince William and Kate Middleton announced they were getting married this spring, a host of celebs have been begging for an invite to the wedding. P Diddy, JLS and Nicole Scherzinger have expressed their desire to attend the celebration. Peter Andre and Serbian Crown Prince Alexander II even claim they already are on the list. The Sun reports that the guest list will be 5.000 Names long, and will include 2.000 close friends and 3.000 politicians, public figures and foreign dignitaries, who are selected by the Lord Chamberlain’s Office.

The Royal Couple is reported to limit invites to family, friends and people playing a direct part in their public and private lives, so stars like Sir Paul McCartney and Dame Helen Mirren will most probably not be on the list.

Celebrities who really are invited should avoid bragging because it is rumored that William and Kate plan to disinvite guests when they issue the invites for their big day. Clarence House said the royals wont provide a running commentary on who would be invited to one of the year’s biggest social occasions.

It was however confirmed that Buckingham Palace is in communication informally with the wider royal family, and “notifications” have been sent out to keep the date free. But it was added that these notifications are not formal invites.

TUDOR LONDON

After reading the website below, fill in the gaps in the following text about Tudor London .

http://www.britainexpress.com/London/tudor-london.htm

Tudor London can be described as a prosperous city during the Tudor dynasty. In fact, the population increased from 75000 inhabitants with Henry VII to 200000 at the end of the 16th century.The Tudor monarchs had a royal residence in London called Whitehall Palace and another in the countryside,called Hampton Court, after Cardinal Wolsey gave it to Henry VIII.These Tudor kings and queens used what are now famous parks , such as Hyde Park or St. James’s Park, as Royal hunting forests.Not many Tudor buildings survive today, mostly because of The Great Fire , which happened in 1666. Besides, , the 13 religious houses in London were converted for private use or pulled down for building materials after the Dissolution of the monasteries, which was Henry VIII's most decisive step against the power of the church in 1538. First the small, less powerful houses had their property confiscated and their buildings blighted (made unsuitable for use). They were followed the next year by the large houses..Apart from that, the theatres were banned from the city by the city authorities or guilds because plays wasted workmen's time. Then, they were built in the Southwark, where now a reconstruction of the Globe can be visited to learn So, all in all, and because of many other events and facts, we can say that both London and England were powerfull about Tudor theatre.
