 </span></blockquote>hitting 5 center points with one shot is certainly a bp record<br/>
even if none of them quite qualifies as an entire nation state<br/>
& notwithstanding the problematic terminology<br/>
<br/>
for i dont think uk is proper iso for anything<br/>
tho it is fips for the entire united kingdom <br/>
of course comprising both great britain & northern ireland<br/>
<br/>
& there evidently is no way of saying great britain alone in iso<br/>
since gb means in that case <br/>
also<br/>
the entire united kingdom of great britain & northern ireland<br/>
<br/>
& tho the 5 center points presented do cover this entire nation <br/>
state<br/>
none of them alone is truly either ukc or gbc<br/>
<br/>
for the center point of that entire country<br/>
by whichever name abbreviation one may prefer to call it<br/>
is completely ignored by this presentation<br/>
<br/>
but perhaps the real ukc appears in the weekend edition <br/>
as the grand finale of the series<br/>
<br/>
or perhaps the territorial disjunction was just too problematic for <br/>
balancing a cardboard on a pencil point<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
also i wouldve thought gbc would be the perfect way to say<br/>
the center of great britain alone without northern ireland<br/>
but there is evidently no basis for this either</div>
