    As does Great Britain include the Channel Islands, even though they're not in the UK.
    Hi GG!

    Great Britain is simply the name of the largest of the British Isles, so doesn't include the Channel Islands.

    Although I'm not sure how that gets around islands such as the Isle of Wight and the Outer Hebrides, which aren't included separately in the definition of the UK.

    Prince Charles can be Arthur, Camila can be guinevere and the nominations are still open for Lancelot

    You'll be called England which most of the world think is the UK anyway, well the septics mostly.

    You want a separation or hope for a yes vote? Then lobby for an English say in the referendum or hold your own and get yerselves tae **** and leave us alone.

    Not geographically. There are two Britains:

    - Greater Britain (Great Britain)
    - Lesser Britain (Brittany)

    Or in French:

    - La Grande Bretagne
    - La Bretagne

    The ones that want to remain part of UK are Scots too.
