The UK doesn't have a constitution.

The UK constitution is three words long.
"Parliament is God"

Even before the Parliament act, the quorum of the house of Lords was 5.

The longest river in the world is the Amazon, not the Nile.

Before the Atlantic opened, and the Andes were formed the Amazon flowed into the Pacific. And the Congo used to flow into it. So back then it was the longest and most volumous river.

That spot is in a very deep valley in the Krugher national park. Because the valley walls are so steep it doesn't ever receive direct illumination from the nearest star.

There is a severe litter problem there, with most offenders claiming that they were told to do so.
