I never knew of a 'correct UK order'.
For the record:
o Great Britain = England, Wales and Scotland;
o UK (short for 'The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland') = England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland; and
o The British Isles = England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and all the little islands.
Furthermoreover, did you know that the australian term 'Pom'/'Pommy'/'Pommy' etc. actaully comes from a shortened version of the word 'pomegranate'?
