Thank you. As I say, the term "British Isles" is mainly used in the UK. You will find that school atlases in the Rep. of Ireland don't use the term as it is viewed as outdated and being from the days of the British Empire. The term "Great Britain and Ireland" is much more favourable when referencing the two islands and shouldn't offend anybody.
Thank you for changing the title. Good luck with your project and enjoy the snow!

cniaz - The term"British Isles" although merely a geographical term, is mostly used in the UK. It is a throwback to the times of Empire and is fairly insulting to folk from the Rep. of Ireland. The ordinary man on the street would take exception to usage of the term when applied to the Irish Republic...surely you can understand that?
Please, out of respect to the people you have chosen to live amongst, change the title of this posting to something more suitable and appropriate. Thanks.

I am really sorry if I hurt Irish people specially from Republic by using the term 'British Isles'. I wont use this term in future rather use 'GB and IRL'.
I tried to find the project file of this clip on my laptop to edit the title but could not find it. I'll try again to replace the title.
Thanks very much for your nice comment.
