Brilliant! I would add only that the collective term "British Isles" is not considered useful in Ireland, either the Republic or several neighborhoods in the Six Counties where this is some historical resentment to having been collected at all.

Great explanation, but at least slightly out of date; Tristan da Cuhna ceased being a Dependency in 2009. It is now be a full fledged member of the Commonwealth.
BTW, its grouped with Ascension and St. Helena.

What clever readers this blog has! (Even the "anonymous" ones!)

Arrogant Worms FTW!
The anonymous one sounds a lot like Peter Trei. Has the same initials, too.
Thanks for sharing! I'll pass it on.
Ahhh! Peter Trei! I should have guessed. I'm floored by how many r.a.c.s. denizens come by now and then to check out this blog. Floored and humbled. They're a quality bunch.
Ahh this is great, even people in the Uk still get confused haha

Your departure....and Mike's....and Sherwood's....and....the list goes on...
...are the subject of many a regular lament in r.a.c.s. A sentiment I share most deeply.
