Good video. I lived there for years and never knew that the islands off the British coast aren't considered part of geographical Great Britain.

I've seen that before. Also I don't know if it's in the video but the islands of Jersey & Sark etc. aren't even considered part of the United Kingdom (the country). They're crown dependencies. I wonder if they have their own passports etc.
