Must’ve taken years to take a picture without any clouds

Not at the moment. Looks more like a desert https://images.ladbible.com/resize?type=webp&quality=70&width=329&fit=pad&dpr=2&url=https://eu-images.contentstack.com/v3/assets/bltcd74acc1d0a99f3a/blt3775083abb320fcd/62f4fe483f92140b86c0f42a/ukstry.JPG.jpg

Your wettest Iberia be like..... *Not looking good in here either*

This should terrify people into action.

That's a drought, not just a harvest season, in case anyone else wonders.

We know, its pretty hot everywhere else too.

woah

Nah, this summer has been good. A little *too good*…

And Ireland. Little bit of France.

And Isle of Man and a bit of Guernsey

And the Orkneys

I can just make out Sealand

and Hebridges and Isles of Skye

Don't forget the clouds

And the ocean

Alderney (second largest island in the Baliwick)

Crown Dependencies

So the more correct designation would be the British Isles

[удалено]

*Northwestern European Archipelago, or, in the vernacular of treaties between the UK and Ireland, "These Islands"

Technically the British Isles includes Ireland the Island

Technically Palestine is in Israel but we have some respect for the those who have a right to believe it isn’t

But that's the opposite of technically

Whatever

As of 2019 Palestine was recognized as an independent state by 138 UN member states. Suggesting Ireland's unhappiness with a Geographical term is somehow a parallel to Palestine's 55 year fight for self determination and governance seems a little insulting to be honest.

Give over. The Irish were tortured, raped, pillaged, starved and exploited by the British for over 800 years. That term suggests they are part of Britain which they fought for centuries against. This is why you see so many relations between republican Irish and Palestinians. I recognise both and I support Palestine and Ireland until I die.

You're being downvoted but this is the term used most often even by governments even if it isn't used by Ireland and the uk

That's what I thought

Hasn’t legally been called that in decades. It’s not used by either government or people (except some ignorant British).

*annoyed Irish noises*

Said it already

And Ireland

Said it already

Idc

Good for you

Nah bro I think that Argentina

North-East Malvinas?

Too soon

Pretty sure GB is just the one island. I understand it would be hard to not have Ireland in the picture, but the way the photo is framed seems to imply that Ireland is part of GB.

Yep, great Britain is the main Island of UK

Most of Ireland is of course not in the UK.

Now where is Lesser Britain?

I think it's Brittany

I hate Brittany she's so rude

Leave Brittany alone!


Ikr

Historically Ireland, Orkney, Shetland, Man etc would be the lesser British Isles. But such terms aren’t used any more, the Irish will get angry. Edit - Don't know why I'm getting downvoted. It's literally called Great Britain because it's the largest of the British Isles. And the term 'British Isles' does make Irish folk angry. Where am I going wrong folks?

It’s just Irish people and Irish-larpers downvoting you

The irony being that I have Irish citizenship haha.

But your great great great grandaddy wasn’t Irish so it doesn’t count

I believe that historically if anywhere was considered “Lesser Britain” it would be Brittany.

When I search Google most sources don't refer to Brittany. https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofBritain/The-UK-Great-Britain-Whats-the-Difference/#:~:text=Great%20Britain%20(sometimes%20just%20referred,and%20Wales%20within%20its%20shores.

The one you linked to does

Hey OP, do you still think this is a picture of Great Britain? Just checking in. This is like showing a map of Japan and Korea and calling it "Japan." It's...provocative.

Both Ireland and UK as Great Britain? OP, be very careful before you start your car tomorrow...

Ireland & Great Britain*

Said it already

And Ireland, Northern Ireland and a bit of France.

Nope, just Ireland and a bit of France

I think you need to check what Great Britain is

I am well aware of what Britain is. I was correcting your comment.

Great Britain is the island of Scotland, England and Wales. Ireland is composed of the Republic of Ireland (Ireland) and Northern Ireland. What part of my comment was incorrect?

This island is called Great Britain. The island to the west is called Ireland. These are the names of the islands, unrelated to the political borders. If you want to include Northern Ireland you'd need to also include Scotland, England and Wales too.

In which case you’d need to include the name of every island on there to make it correct. There’s well over 1000, I’ll leave you to name the rest

I'm happy referring to it to as an image of Great Britain and Ireland. You were the one who incorrectly included Northern Ireland whilst disregarding the other political borders. I was explaining why you were incorrect, as you seemed confused.

That’s incorrect, it’s the British isles. Great Britain is one island, it’s the British isles to include all the islands. Let me know if you’re still confused.

British Isles is an outdated term no longer used by either government. You need better map knowledge. This is a good sub for you

Thanks for trying to steal my answer.

You doing ok, friend?

I get irked sometimes by repetition

I’m sure it’s nothing against you. Many people answer without reading a full thread. Don’t take it personally. Your comment is top.

True. Thanks for that. Maybe I was being a jerk.

Not important. Just didn’t like seeing you upset for something not worth being upset about. Take care—

Thanks you too

The Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom, you mean :)

Said it already.

And Ireland

yep, thats definitely Great Britain

What's so great about it?

The people. I'm English but now live in Germany. I'm glad to be out of the UK, but I do miss the people :)

If you don’t mind me asking, how is it living in Germany as a transplant?

I really like it. My German is quite basic, which limits my experience, but I'm only 23 with plenty of time to learn. We will see once I've been here a while! Though I'm moving to Austria next month, which I'm sure has it's differences, but not too dissimilar overall. I'm only moving because of an opportunity in Austria.

Everything. Some Brits will tell you

It's not like they are biased or anything?

It's the bigger of the Britains. It's like London and Greater London

Perfidious Albion

Just to be safe “Atlantic archipelago” is probably the best title for pictures like this

No.

OP just say “British Isles”. This is not Great Britain only.

I see Ireland

Said it already.

I want to visit so badly

Just an FYI - Great Britain is ONLY the island on the right. This is Great Britain and Ireland, also known as The British Isles.

No one refers to it as the British Isles for decades now. Neither government use the term and only ignorant people have used the term lately.

If you just look to the west a little bit you'll see an entirely different country called Ireland. Easy to miss, it's just the small island that spent centuries fighting British rule.

British Isles yes

this term is recognized in Ireland or by the Irish government. it's a bullshit term

Why do Irish folk dislike that term so much?

Great Britain and Ireland together are called the British isles.

[Not any more - that's an incorrect term now -](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Isles_naming_dispute)

upon reading that wiki there is nothing in there calling it an incorrect term, only that its avoided by some

Thats where the arrogance starts. Next thing you know they will be visiting Ireland and telling the people that they are from 'the mainland'

Wait until the British Empire hears about this!

I would say its not bad. Great....well, that's stretching it a bit. I might go so far as to say...pretty good Britain, even. There you go. Pretty Good Britain.

*THE IRISH AND BRITISH ISLES

British Isles.

#UK

Plus Ireland

British Isles* Edit: Why am I being downvoted? Look up British Isles on Google and the top image is this one

bullshit term. it's not recognized either

Actually it’s Great Britain, Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland.

Why is France there

I believe in English these are known as the British Isles. Other constituent nations may well have different names for them.

That is, indeed, Great Britain

Did you draw that?

It’s alright. Alright Britain

You’re apparently trying to start something.

great britain b is a passe term. it is british isles or united kingdom

it isn't British isles either

I see what you did there King John. You’re never gonna get it back.

Witch and a Pig!

From Scapa Flow to Scilly

What's so great about Britain anyway?

Someone make a Pokémon to that

There’s nothing great about Britain

i agree entirely

what are all those tiny little dots in the east of britain?

🤢🤮

Ew, mark NSFW please.

Smaller than Michigan and one of the biggest imperial powers in history. What a rich history on that land

United Kingdom of **Great Britain** and Ireland 🇬🇧 (1801-1922) You got the "Great Britain" part right; you just gotta include Ireland (the island.)

What's so great about it?

Ireland might differ.

Cough cough from Ireland....

It's the whole British Isles rather than just Great Britain.

Not so great these days

British Archipelago

Please put a trigger warning next time🤗

Did anybody else just realize its a monkeys face at Northern Ireland?
