I am like and I British this.

I am this and British I Like.

Like this I am British.

Is the Isle of Anglesey technically part of GB? I know politically its welsh

To be totally honest, I'm not sure. I think because it's an island it doesn't count as part of Britain, but the Menai Straight isn't that big

......looking it up on Wikipedia it says "Anglesey is the largest Welsh island, the sixth largest surrounding Great Britain and the largest in the Irish Sea."

So if you go by that saying "surrounding Great Britain" then it's not part of GB......but still Wikipedia is a dubious source at best. :P

The small islands are not a part of Great Britan.

Yeah I know, Hebrides, Anglesea, Isle of White and the Channel Islands are part of the UK. But it's a pain in the arse to colour in those individual islands when it's on that scale, plus people might not notice they were coloured in for UK/GB.

You can probably also notice the Isle of Man which isn't part of the UK or GB is coloured in red too because it's linked to Scotland.

Like I said before, I didn't want the pics to become too detailed. Just short and sweet. If you need a more in depth coverage of Britain, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, The British Isles and Britains Oversea Terretories, then a link has been provided a few times which is very good at explaining it all. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10

U WAT M8?

Since this went down well and some people still have questions, I made two more.

This one breaks down Great Britain, the biggest island of the British Isles.

This one breaks down Ireland, the smaller island of the British Isles.

I commend you for educating the FJ community on any concerns or misunderstandings

I'm not sure most people in the ROI would agree that they are part of the British Isles. Just sayin...

the thing is the Republic of Ireland is in the British Isles because it's a geographic title, not political. It's like Switzerland saying they're not part of Europe because they're not in the EU.

wat if u say england?

god I'm confused

CGP Grey. When you see the last picture, you will understand. Somewhat, at least

Thats still wrong nigger, Great Britain is the island in which most of England, Scotland, and Wales are located in, but it does not include the islands that are part of England, Scotland or Wales. i.e. The Scottish Hebrides or the Island of the Clyde are not part of Great Britain, however your map depicts them as such

Yeah but it would have been a pain in the arse to just cut those off then fill them in for the particular circumstances. It's really to help with the Ireland and Northern Ireland confusion.

I mean the Isle of Man is also on there coloured in, even though it's independent.

Not to mention that the Channel islands are just completely non-existent.

My thoughts too, welcome to living in Jersey

I see your point. The best explanation on all the confusion regarding the British Isles, imo, is done by CGP Grey:

I was going to take ages and make a more detailed version with England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Great Britain, United Kingdom and British Isles maps.....but I didn't want my post to be "Now listen up children, this is a geography lesson."

Tried to make it short and sweet. :P

Lost it at "peepee friction pleasure" XD

Forcey fun time.

God damn it, gets me every time.

MFW "peepee friction pleasure"

Yeah, my favourite as well.

inb4 cool story bro

Meh, it was an alright story.

that would just be a waste of Guinnes .

Great britain is the island, not the country

And what about Jersey, we're still part of Great Britain, everyone forgets the small ones

N.I is part of the UK, not Britain.

No, because fuck Northern Ireland.


Really, NI isn't part of Great Britain, which is just England Scotland and Wales, but is a part of the United Kingdom

You just saved me having to go on google, you have my thanks,

well fuck you too

I have finally realized, why the knights say NI

huh...I guess.....I always assumed UK and Britain were interchangeable like US and America

Really? You people indulge this troll?

US and America are interchangeable?

what troll?
me?
I would assume US and America are interchangeable since everyone does it.
US short for United Sates which is short for United Sates of America
or just America for short...

Try harder.

but...I'm not....

As would most people who dont care about what the brits call their islands.
