UK: England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales

Great Britain: England, Scotland, Wales

England: A lot of counties like Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, Lincolnshire, Greater London, Derby, Nottingham, Yorkshire, Cambridge, Liverpool, Manchester(I've seen it as Greater Manchester, might be 2 different things), if I forgot any counties where you are from, I am sorry, etc...

Scotland: A lot of counties too, like Ayrshire, Aberdeenshire, Lanarkshire, Sutherland, Orkney, Perthshire, etc...

Each county in England and Scotland has cities, and each city has a separate borough in it...lets take London.

London: Fulham and Hammersmith, Kensington(South, North, East and West-all separate), City of London, Southwark, Lambeth, Wandsworth, etc...

- Birminghamshire? Birmingham shares its county (West Midlands) with two other cities and several large towns.

- Oh my God, if I knew this answer was going to create so much controversy, I wouldn't have answered it!! On every website and map, it says that birminghamshire is a county. I took Birminghamshire off the list, replaced it with Yorkshire, and wrote"if I forgot any county that you live in, I'm sorry".

- Yeah, my bad. I just checked the site I got all this info from, and it said nothing about birminghamshire. I swear I did find a map that said there was a birminghamshire, right in the middle between hertfordshire and oxfordshire. Maybe that map was completely wrong, or I misread the facts, but its fixed now, no more birminghamshire.

- Wow, I just realized something, I made a complete mistake. Instead of Birminghamshire, I meant Buckinghamshire, I read the map fast, and thought it said birminghamshire.

In all honesty, I don't think a lot of folks outside the UK have any clue what comprises the UK. To many, the UK means England.
For that matter, many US citizens can't tell you the names of the states.

Yep.

But I've discovered on here, when some people say the 'UK' they generally mean England. And people talk about a 'British accent'. Believe me, they're bloody different.

I didn't think N Ireland was part of UK or GB dosn't it have its on parliament like the I.O.M and the Channel Isles which would make it a dependency I think?
Appologies
It should be GB and N Ireland or the United Kingdom (so I've been told)

Not many people living in Scotland would refer to their country as the UK. I don`t know about the rest of the country.

I think most people would just say that to avoid confusion and make it easier to understand where they come from.
