Then of course we have people saying they have been in both the north and south of Ireland. Has nobody here been in the east, midlands or west of Ireland? I am from Dublin and if I am ever asked if I am from the north or south of Ireland, I always answer that I am from the east. Of course the most northerly point in Ireland, Malin Head, is in the so-called south! So it is no wonder some people are confused.
I live in Scotland and people regularly ask me if I'm from "Northern or Southern Ireland".
I'm from Galway but if I said I was from the west they would ask if I was from the west of Northern or Southern Ireland.
Therefore I always say I'm from "Southern Ireland".
It's easier that way!
By the way I've been to....
Ireland (North and South)
USA
Wales
France
Scotland (where I now live)
England
Italy
Czech Republic
Spain0 -

I've been poring over a world map for ages now trying to make no. 20, but it's just not happening unless I count Scotland, wales etc separately, but I do think that's cheating. India next year should round it off for a while , I'd say
[EDIT - Hold the front page:
20 Switzerland!
Yay! /EDIT]
Cheers,

According to dictionary.com;
"Britain" and "Great Britain" include Northern Ireland (I personally disagree - it is a US dictionary though)
"Northern Ireland" = A division of the UK...
"England" = A division of the UK...
"Wales" = A principality of the UK....
"Scotland" = A costituent country of the UK...
"Ireland" = A country occupying most of...
"Gibraltar" = A British colony...
"Isle Of Man" = An island of Great Britain (...) an autonomous possession of the British crown.
I lost a boardgame years ago - the question was States that begin with the letter D - others said Depression, Disappointment, Delaware but I wasn't allowed to use Denmark. "Denmark is a country not a state". I even quoted Shakespeare but was shouted down. Still bummed at that 0 -
