| Unlike New Zealand and Australia, Canadians and Americans need working visas to work in each other countries. And unless you're a professional, it won't be easy getting a working visa. A Canadian can't just drive down to New York and get a job at a restaurant dish-washing for the summer (legally that is). |

Yeah but is though innit.
I mean when you have the Prime Minister, Queen, every major newspaper in the country and pretty much all 60 mil of the people call our country Britain to refer to the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland then Britain becomes a valid name.
Anything else is just tedious wikiesque pedantry. |

Let's have some wikiesque pedantry, shall we?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom
| Quote: |
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain) is a sovereign state located off the north-western coast of continental Europe. The country includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland and many smaller islands
The United Kingdom is a unitary state governed under a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary system, with its seat of government in the capital city of London. It is a country in its own right and consists of four countries: England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. |
Here's the Prime Minister's Office on the matter |
