United Kingdom (UK) = England, Scotland, Wales, North Ireland
The official name of the UK is the "United Kingdom of Great Brit
ain and Northern Ireland"
Great Britain (GB) = England, Scotland and Wales
British Isles = The UK + additional smaller islands that are technically not part of the UK
There doesn't seem to be a lot of sensitivity to these definitions and people throw around all of the names - but always good to know where you are!
