Britain is actually England and Wales Great Britain is England and Wales WITH Scotland (So does Scotland make britain GREAT ??) UK is Great Britain and N.Ireland possibly with Shetlands and Orkney...but not forgetting Isle of Wright.

Also we think of England and Scotland as being "Great Britain."
The British Isles contains the UK and Ireland (Eire) plus some weird bits like Rockall, Channel Islands, the Isle of Man etc. The UK is the United Kingdom of Britain and Northern Ireland Britain is England, Scotland and Wales. Who could ever get confused? :) -- Chris Morgan <cm at mihalis.net> http://www.mihalis.net Temp sig. - Enquire within _______________________________________________ Orb mailing list Orb@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/orb
