Do you know your state abbreviation?

I just sent a gift to someone in London and the form automatically inserted GB into the state box. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have any meaning to our postal service but I thought it was interesting.

It is actually . I cant actually believe it, but its amazing how things change with a big ocean in between people.

I mean let me put it this way.

I have never used GB in my life, and i live in "Great Britain".
Great Britain is infact a term you nearly never hear in the UK.

The only terms used here are:
England (for the english)
UK (like your shortened state things)
and the full "United Kingdom" (which is the most commonly used)
