The geographical definition of UK

[Anonymous]

Does O2 know something that the United Nations doesn't? Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man are part of the UK last time I checked.

They're actually crown dependencies, not part of the UK.

The United Kingdom refers to the political link between England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

For life is like cricket  - we play by the rules -
But the secret which few people know,
Which keep men of class well apart from the fools
Is to think up the rules as you go.

Definition of United Kingdom?    In these days of equality of esteem and political correctness etc shouldn't that be Queendom or Persondom?   As for United - well the Scots can't wait to get out of it; the English haven't a notion what it means; the Welsh are only a Principality so don't count and the Norn Irish are too busy with their petty in-fighting to realise the whole thing is falling apart anyway.
