Still in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, still in the British Isles, however not in Great Britain.
Some Irish (both North and South) can be very pedantic (I think that is about the first true fact on this thread)

It's not, strictly speaking.
"The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" would suggest that NI is extraneous to Britain.

no part of ireland is or ever has been in britain (or great britain) which comprises only england, wales & scotland. northern ireland is, however, in the united kingdom. that's why your passport says 'united kingdon of great britain and northern ireland' which is the full official name of our country.

I've said it before, but England should cut Scotland, N'Ireland, Wales and the Wirrral loose. They're living large off our taxes.

I reckon the Wirral puts in more than they take out.
