... some people are too lazy to scroll down.
The truth, from Encarta encyclopaedia...
"... Great Britain is the largest island in the cluster of islands, or archipelago, known as the British Isles..."
See for yourself.
And more, from ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA
http://encarta.msn.com/find/Concise.asp?z=1&pg=2&ti=761553483
"... officially United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, byname Great Britain or Britain island nation located off the northwestern coast of mainland Europe...."
As I said - pick up and read a book.
