England,Britain and the UK

[Mekado]

So,

Someone tried to explain to me the difference between the 3 and i wanna see if i got it right.
England is the southern part of the island (minus Wales)
Britain is the whole main island
The United Kingdom is the island plus northern Ireland

Is that it ?

 

[AkJay]

Yea, that's pretty much it. Then again, I'm from the USA, so I could just as easily be wrong (and I'm sure if I am I'll have about 10-15 people telling me how stupid I am.)

 

[Distorted Stu]

I think so, but dont turst me, im still drunk xD

 

[walls of cetepedes]

Aye, that's how I would put it.

 

[Killer Rabbit]

I thinks that's right.

England: country on it's own
Great Britian: England, Scotland and Wales
UK: GB plus Northern Ireland

Yep. Although why anyone would go to the countries other than England I'll never know

 

[DarkLordofDevon]

Nail on the head my friend. And good to see someone who knows it correctly. Have 10 awesome points.

No, the Welsh are too attached to them. At times very literally.

So who does that little island in between Northern Ireland and England belong to?

Is there a difference between Britain and Great Britain ?

That's the Isle of Man, I think it's theoretically it's own little fiefdom, but basically it's just Englands *****...just like the rest of em....*runs for cover*

EDIT: OK, It's a crown dependancy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isle_of_Man

 

[purplepixie]

Nope, full name is Great Britain but everyone shortens it to Britain.

They are part of the UK, technically Scottish.

There are loads of them all over the place of various sizes and environments. When I invent the light-bulb and become super rich I am going to buy one and build a nice castle on it.

England is where old white politicans live.

Britain is where The Queen lives and where Tesco and Sainsburys Happens.

The United Kingdom is the part that still has dignity and a decent identity along with respect from other countries.
