The British Isles are an archipelago of islands off North-Western Europe. The two largest islands are Great Britain and Ireland. Great Britain consists of three countries: England, Wales and Scotland. Ireland consists of two countries: Northern ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Great Britain together with Northern Ireland make up the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK).
Many people mistake England for an island, which is because of the extensive use of English as a vernacular across the island of Great Britain (although Welsh and Gaelic are also used a lot). England is just one of the countries of Great Britain, if one is to call it a country, as it does not have its own government (unlike Scotland and Wales). Britain and England are not interchangeable, despite England having the UK capital.

Get the British Isles mug.It is a nice smallish city in NORTHERN Maine, and with a population of about 10,000 give or take a hundred, People in Presque Isle are very nice, and yes there are high taxes, but it is better and than living in a junk town, anyways I am from Presque Isle and we have a very good time hunting moose, deer, and etc. oh and being angry at tourists for buying up all of the land, and there are surrounding towns around Presque Isle like Caribou, Mapleton, and others. And I haven't really met people who were truly racist, and only a couple of people who were drunks and stuff. And so Don't make fun of it, because it is true, I have at least a couple of guns in my house for hunting, but so do so many other people in northern maine. And we do have awsome accents. And our High School team is called Wild Cats.
Guy 1:Hey didn't Presque Isle High School beat Caribou in hockey.
Guy 2:Yea we did.
Her: Do you want to go to the mall in Presque Isle?
Him: Yea I do.

A small strip of beach, formerly a part of North Miami Beach that is between Haulover Beach and Golden Beach and is now a hoppin, multi cultural fancy car factory where lamborghinis, Ferraris, Bentleys, Aston Martins, Porches and Masseratis can be found in almost any parking lot (including walgreens and Burger King). Too bad no one here knows how to drive.
High rises and valet parking rule the world here on the beach side of A1A (Collins Ave) and the other side of the road has cheaper living and some trendy restaurants and small stores that make you feel right at home - if home is near the ocean.
This little town on the beach will make 3 blocks feel like 3 miles with all the traffic lights, but you can always hop on the William Lehman Causeway or the bridge on 163rd st. for an easy escape into Aventura.
