I'm a bad, bad boy...
I read: " The percentage of Africa that is wilderness: 28% ".
And then I read: " The percentage of North America that is wilderness: 38% ".
And then, I had the sudden guilty Welsh thought...
The percentage of England that is wilderness: 100%...
( And if any Scots are reading this, don't judge me...You were thinking the same thing, admit it! )
I blame the primary school that I attended...there was a relief model of the terrain features of the British Isles made out of white plastic, with place-names marked in black ink. To this day, I still, subconsciously, think of England as a vast white expanse with " England " marked on it in huge black letters...
And, to prove that I'm not anti-English...
There was once a classic piece of graffitti near the Severn Bridge, on the Welsh side of the border. ( This was in the time when petrol-stations still gave trading-stamps or small gifts if you bought a certain amount of petrol. ) It has generally been seen as a classic example of a serious political statement, later modified for humourous purposes...
Somebody, presumably Welsh nationalists ( ? ), had scrawled:
" Free Wales! ",
And, underneath, someone else had scrawled:
" With every three gallons..."
