As another unintended consequence of recent changes in this respect. The Autofill boxes offered by just about everything associated with International Travel have now become more complex.

Great Britain no longer brings up the correct option in some - so try 'United' and that will bring up a few - others require us to type 'United Kingdom' in full and brings up 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland' apparently the favoured title of the current Tory administration.


Is not 'United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" the correct full title since the partition of Ireland? I guess that problems with the DUP is the reason for making the change. But then you see UK used on all sorts of lists on the internet.

Bit like treating Scotland , England and Wales as "countries" - our set up here in the UK is a complete bodge only made worse by Blair.
