@PhilETaylor can you explain the difference between the two? Thanks

Sure - I have to quote this at least once a month as I live in Jersey, Channel Islands, which are also not in the UK, but often people say we are (Ref: https://www.gov.je/Leisure/Jersey/pages/profile.aspx)

GB = "England, Scotland and Wales make up Great Britain"

UK = "The United Kingdom includes Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales) and Northern Ireland"

Very interesting, thank you!
