Who or what would you consider an authorative source?

A spokesman of the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland maybe?

As lone gunman implies "What you talkin' 'bout Willis?"


UK is more than GB as you correctly state. However, some Yank's interpretation on wikipedia (most think Wales is in England) is not where I would start.

I'd settle for some place like Florianópolis in Southern Brazil ... never did like the cold or the wind or the rain much

It was way too humid for me, sweat dripping inside shirt all round. YMMV.

But it is true, South America has loads of relatively comfortable places to live, largely unspoilt by people like us. I rather liked Chile myself, though Brazil is undoutedly fun, and you sure eat well there.

Did you notice the seperation in your statement?
UK = GB + NI therefore GB /= UK.

Really?

The Kingdom of Great Britain, also known as the United Kingdom of Great Britain,[1][2] was a sovereign state in northwest Europe, in existence from 1707 to 1801. It was created by the merger of the Kingdom of Scotland and the Kingdom of England, under the Acts of Union 1707, to create a single kingdom.
