A cynical Englishman’s view is that we are called Great Britain when we win and England when we lose at sport. Other Britons from Wales , Northern Ireland and Scotland might have the reverse viewpoint

Peers,

I have some silly questions.

Which entities make up the "United Kingdom?" Which
make up "Great Britain"? And how about the
"Commonwealth"?

For example, are the SBA:s members of "Great Britain
and Northern Ireland"?

And how about "England", by the way. Is, for example,
the Isle of Man part of England?
