It's just occurred to me that Jersey and Guernsey aren't part of the
UK - at least I don't think they are. But that's probably
over-pedantic of me.
They are Crown dependencies, so yes not part of the UK (and so not
even pedantic John!). The Isle of Man isn't in the UK either
One point though Keith (assuming you don't know already), you need to
remove your Flash on your homepage. Adobe is removing all support at
the end of the year and Flash will no longer function after that
date. Browsers are already deprecating it and Windows 10 (and maybe
other OSs) will remove it soon as well, if they haven't already.
To be honest in that list I also group the Republic of Ireland, on
reflection perhaps I should state this, but thanks for pointing this
out John.

If it includes the Republic, then why not just say "British Isles"
rather than "UK", Hopefully there aren't any Irish readers of this
group, as I could understand their being annoyed by that "British", so
on reflection maybe "Britain and Ireland" would be better. Though I
suppose it's arguable whether the Crown Dependencies can be said to be
part of Britain or not.
