The person who wrote about the
British Isles and Eire must have had one over the eight
in the local pub. Before I give the definition of Pub may I please give a quick geography
lesson. The
British Isles is a
geographical unit which includes the island of Ireland.
The author of that definition mixed political geography and regional geography in much
the same way as those eight plus the one over appear to have been mixed.
Eire is a different unit to Britain in political geography but not in regional geography.
Ah yes I almost forgot, before I return to the pub for more pints, that definition -
Please underaged barred.
