Please Note:
Groundspeak has left out Northern Ireland in the dropdown in the Select - State / province box, for the United Kingdom.
Hence I have had to leave it to leave it blank.
Historical Note: The Island of Ireland, consists of two Country's,
The largest being the "Republic of Ireland" (aka - Eire - Galic) mainly to the South of Ireland. The other is Northern Ireland.
Contary to popular belief there are four countries, states or kingdoms in the United Kingdom.
