25 Geographical position.

There are two large islands and several smaller ones, which lie in the north-west coast of Europe. Collectively they are known as the British Isles. The largest island is called Great Britain. The smaller one is called Ireland. Great Britain is separated from the continent by the English Channel. The country is washed by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Great Britain is separated from Belgium and Holland by the North Sea, and from Ireland - by the Irish Sea.

In the British Isles there are two states. One of them governs of the most of the island of Ireland. This state is usually called the Republic of Ireland. The other state has authority over the rest of the territory. The official name of this country is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. But it is usually known by a shorter name - "The United Kingdom". The total area of Great Britain is 244,000 square km.

They say that the British love of compromise is the result of the country's physical geography. This may or may not be true, but it certainly true that the land and climate in Great Britain have a notable lack of extremes. The mountains in the country are not very high. It doesn't usually get very cold in the winter or very not in the summer. It has no active volcanoes, and an earth tremors which does no more than rattle teacups in a few houses which is reported in the national news media. The insular geographical position of Great Britain promoted the development of shipbuilding, different training contacts with other countries.

28 Finance and investment.

UK Financial Investments Ltd (UKFI) is a company set up in November 2008 by the UK Government to manage its shareholding in banks subscribing to its recapitalisation fund. They include Lloyds Banking Group (of which UKFI owns 41%), Royal Bank of Scotland Group (of which UKFI owns 83%) and Northern Rock. The Government is underwriting capital investments for RBS and Lloyds Banking Group (which includes HBOS), totalling £37 billion.

On 3 November 2009, the government injected further capital into RBS in particular, which resulted in the government's stake in that company rising from 70% to 83%.[1]The UKFI holding in Lloyds dropped from 43% to 41% in February 2010 after it issued 3.14 billion new shares.[2]

UKFI's subsidiary UK Asset Resolution Ltd holds both Northern Rock (Asset Management) and Bradford & Bingley.

On 17 November 2011 it was announced that Virgin Money were going to buy Northern Rock plc for £747 million.
