It may very well be so; if I have erred, my apologies.

Sorry -- I was just being my usual pedantic self. No offense taken or
intended.

For bonus marks, discuss the state of the Channel Islands and the
Isle of Man.

I am not qualified. However, I have heard that in the summer one may
rent a cottage on the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear. I shall
scrimp and save.

:-) The Isle of Wight's easy -- it's part of England (the political
entity), so it's part of the UK.
