A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station.

No, we've always been shown as part of the Evil Empire.

Out of curiosity, what does it count? When I post from Spain it doesn't count all the posts.
Get it up ye.

It doesn't count all my posts either FWIW, or how many times I visit here

"GB" isn't even a country, it's a geographical term and that accursed flag doesn't represent it. Tsk.
A-nis bidh fios aig daoine nuair a tha mi a 'mionnachadh aig dhaibh.

If I understand correctly, the use of GB for Scotland, Wales, and England would mean that Northern Ireland should have its own, or be included in Ireland. Does/Is it?

Since a picture is apparently worth a thousand words.

If it can't be explained with a Venn diagram then there is no need to know it.

The diagram is in complete agreement with my understanding (except I wouldn't have known how to classify the small islands). But, I just wonder how someone from Northern Ireland would get listed in the table above.

Time travelling visitors to the board who don't mind images that have been hastily chopped up in MS Paint and don't mind bad colouring in might find this more recognisable.

Norn Iron used this flag up until 1972:

But it's just the Butcher's Apron that's used now.

One of my troops is from Norn Iron. When questioned on the subject of nationality - specifically, should we add "Northen Irish" as an option, he said that people from there just either call themselves Irish or British.

I will guess that "Page Views" = total views of the flag counter itself since the number there is greater than the individual flag counts.

I will also guess that the individual flag counts are "unique visitors", probably based on IP addresses.

But again, both of those statements are just guesses.

Probably 5 or 6 each trip, but the same 5 or 6 over and over again.
