No wonder, they had to travel between GB and UK several times.

Don't forget that there is are parts of the UK that are not in GB. (All the offshore islands, Northern Island, etc.)
Addendum 2025-11-28 10:53: Note: the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man aren't part of either the UK or GB.
Addendum 2025-11-28 10:54: When I said "offshore islands" I was thinking of e.g. the Isle of Wight, Skye, Eigg, Rhum, Lewis, etc.

You can have an onshore island? :)

OK, fair question, and the answer is "yes", provided that it's an island in a lake(1). A lake that's onshore, natch.
(1) Bonus points if the lake is on an island that's in a lake, of course.

In my world, staff based in India - on a continental landmass - are called "offshore", whereas British staff are called "onshore", from which it follows that the whole of Great Britain is an onshore island

I though it migh be a Schrödinger package, being in London UK and London GB at the same time.
Or maybe it's actually two entangled packages?

About the second one, just las week we were complaining here about ridiculously short limits to the amount of characters in form fields. Now we're complaining abount no limits? :)
(Yeah, I know: extremes are bad both ways)
