    Britain (or Great Britain) is the largest island in the group.

    England is the country that occupies most of the southern and eastern part of this island.

    The United Kingdom encompasses England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

    The "British Isles" include Britain (Great Britain), Ireland, the Orkney Islands, Shetland Islands, Channel Isles, Isle of Man, Inner and Outer Hebrides, etc.

    This is not a dumb question. Many people worldwide use these terms interchangeably to refer to any one of these entities. Most of my friends do so, but I don't care because I usually know what they are referring to.

    I think England is just the country.. United Kingdom are the united countries ruled by the kingdom.. Wales, England, Scotland, North Ireland..something like that. and Britain is the UK and Ireland. Great Britain is the same as Britain.

    When he is honest and caring. Women can look at a passing butt. It is the person on the other side that really turns them on. And if that person is not honest or caring, then it doesn't matter what he looks like, he is not sexy.
