and so , so , so much more ..

I forgot Oryx, but thanks also Oryx

Thanks Britexpat, anything more inputs from you as your name suggests. Thanks

They got it correct to.

It's the reverse.

Great Britain = England + Scotland + Wales

UK = Great Britain + Northern Ireland

Land of Milk and Honey. Of Green pastures. Rolling hills and Mrs Dale.

wakawakawoo and tryke

so the answer to my question is:

Northern Ireland

thanks again!!

Great Britain is part of UK.. It is an island in the Atlantic Ocean off the northwestern coast of Europe, including England, Scotland, and Wales.

United Kingdom (UK) is a constitutional monarchy in northwestern Europe, occupying the British Isles with the exception of most of the island of Ireland. It comprises the historic kingdoms of England and Scotland, the principality of Wales, and the province of Northern Ireland.

UK = Great Britain + Northern Ireland

-

UK = Scotland England Wales and N.Ireland

GB = Scotland England Wales

so GB is bigger than UK?

thanks for the info, I thought its the other way around.

Are the Indians spreading to the Phillipines too? Geez, God save the poor Pinoys.

For future queries, remember GIYF (Google is your friend)

Great Britain is the short version of Kingdom of Great Britain which includes England, Wales and Scotland.

United Kingdom is the Short Version of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, (formally the Northern was omitted prior to Eire splitting from the Union)

So the real diference in simplistic terms is the inclusion of Northern Ireland.

People are Citizens (formally Subjects) of the United Kingdom not Citizens only of Great Britain. But they are also British which refers to English, Scots, Welsh and Irish peoples that make up the UK.

Yes you're right, I have seen several indian nationals in my country and they are into business like lending. I don't know wnat you call it but is called "5-6" in the Philippines.

UK is: Wales+Scotland+England

Great Britain is : All the above + Northern Ireland

I think this is it. Correct me someone if I am wrong.

We're pretty much staking claim in the Philippines too :-P

Amritsar/Chandni Chowk.

I thought it was going to be renamed United Kerala, all those Southies landing there

What is really the difference between GB and UK?

WK, the land of Chicken Tikka Masala
