Last night I heard on World Service one of the people involved in the tv programme about searching for jaguars in the South American rain forest.
The presenter started by describing Guyana as a small sliver of a country
Well, everything is relative. Great Britain is not a large country, but I do not know if anyone would describe it as a small sliver
Fact: Area of Guyana – 83,000 square miles
Area of Great Britain – 88,000 square miles
