Why particularly from the UK, BTW.

BTW, today in work I saw a letter addressed to "... Northampton, The
UK of GB and NI", a curious mixture of unnecessary elaboration and
abbreviation.

Aye, but I'm a fortnight behind :). I read conlang everywhere I have
a spare moment, on my palm device: on the bus, on lunchbreaks, while
cooking, while my harddrive is going swap-crazy, but I still can't keep
up - I've currently over a thousand unread messages. How do ye do it?
OK, being a member of celticaconlang, celticonlang, con-celtic, conlang,
cybalist, dante, east-asian-conlangs, germaniconlang, iiu, j-joyce,
latex-for-conlangers, linux-dell-laptops, romanceconlang, slaviconlang,
tolklang, and westasianconlangs doesn't help, but conlang is by far the
busiest.
