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.

Don't think you're right about the British Isles Dev...

That's what I always thought - a teacher once told us all that the longest river in the British Isles was the Shannon.

 

[Ciaran]

Wrong.

Mick ban this **** till tomorrow.

Biggest lake is Lough Neigh

 

[stopmeandslapme]

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.

You'd have to be pretty ******ed to interpret it that way.

Great Britain

n. an island of NW Europe, separated from the mainland by the English Channel and the North Sea: comprising England, Scotland, and Wales

Why the **** are you lot still going on about this? I shall put an end to it now. GB=England, Scotland, Wales. UK=England, Scotland, Wales, Norn Iron. BI=England, Scotland, Wales, Norn Iron and the taigs. What stopme was saying is that sometimes when people speak about Britain, they mean the UK, which of course is technically wrong, but who gives a ****. Why did you all ignore my question about the UK Olympic team being called Team GB when there are people from Northern Ireland in it? Technically, it is wrong to call it Team GB, it should be Team UK surely, but we all know what it means.

Thanks for providing us with a definition of something other than "Britain".

No, the brand name is Team GB.
