I forgot a whole bunch of Carribean islands as well. I will have to look them up and see which ones were alone and which are held by some other country.

K-man, Gibraltar is very much separate from Spain, it's a British Dependancy. My other half was there when he was in the RAF, he couldn't go to Spain as the Spanish had closed the border between the two countries, it's not that long been opened. He's been to more countries than I have, including the Falklands and was in the first Gulf war in the seventies (Oman 1962-76) which the Allies won btw. When he went to Cyprus they were shooting at him as well (1975/6), he's a nice guy though, honestly! My shift partner is worse, he was in Aden and Malaya during the fighting as well as Falklands.
It's more than separate from Spain. It's more British than Britain!! :p I was considering whether or not it should have been included as England. (Never considered it part of Spain!

But in my list, I did forget Hong Kong and China.

With so many of us being in different places that others want to visit we should start a holiday swap scheme!
