    UK doesn't claim it, the Southpole is divided between UK and Norway (for both exploring it), Australia and New Zeeland (for being close to it) and France (for thinking they should have a share in it anyway)

    I've just thought, the Top Gear guys drove to the North Pole recently, doesn't that make it British?

    Admittedly the maniacs behind the plan seemed to be Icelandic (there's a surprise) but we could share.

    They can claim the Northpole,but what is this talk about santaclaus? He is from Finland. There is no sense claiming that the old bugger lives in northpole when its clear that he lives in korvatunturi!

    Hmmm...you're sure it's not just vodka under the snow?
