"Britain definition
Officially the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland"

 

I was giving the Scotch a compliment on their terrific football throughout the qualifiers but Dev is too bitter and thick to accept such a compliment.

 

So we're all agreed that it's unofficial - or simply a mere coloquialism which actually means **** all - Great Britain is England Wales and Scotland. The UK is GB and Northern Ireland.

Glad that's all cleared up then.

 

Oh the ****ing irony.

 

^^^^^ absolutely steaming

 

I think you're the one that's been at the bevvy.

 

Sorry but this is the greatest YouTube video ever!! (Sorry Boris)

 

Where you from savethehumans?

 

Hey. Nowt wrong with that.

 

This should be fun.

 

The European union

 

It is when you are trying to be witty and failing like Lenny Henry.

 

So you don't recognise unofficial names?

 

Or "Europe" as it's more commonly known.

 

So it is unofficial?

 

Did I say otherwise?

 

Okay. So it's not official.

 

Not when people are ******ed enough to use an unoffical name to suggest that someone born on one island actually lives in or comes from another one no.

 

Suffice to say that "Great Britain" is the mainland Island of Britain, the United Kingdom includes NI, as does the "British Isles".

ergo "Britain" and the "UK" are two separate entities.
