The distinction between the three is pretty subtle, but this map makes it very clear.

Apparently confusingly though, the general term "Britain" can apply to either the UK or GB depending on context. But it never refers only to England.

Ireland used to be called Little Britain but it didn't stick, luckily for them.

It should be Alba/Albion and Eire/Ireland or Great Britain and Little Britain but we ended up a mixture.

Which ones didn't get fucked enough ?

Seems like i gotta build a boat once more. On my older years.

I love Englishman. They scream quite nice.

And they really believe the Scots are their friends.... Too easy.

I even got Eirish (that is the right spelling, i believe) friends.

Is this a reference, or are you just weird?

    If you weren't a fucking Han-chinese i could start to like you.

    Because you actually drop wisdom here and there. You know Tacitus and the Brits?

    You know Skyclad ? Sung British history ?

      You do understand that not every man in this world is into shortbreads?

        One child policy was a fine thing. Now it is hard to find enough axes.
