EDIT (ben74): Geographical debate...
Inspired by discussions in relation to the Isle of Man, this thread had been commenced, for anyone wishing to further discuss issues of a geographical nature.
Posts relating to technicalities regarding geography have been relocated below to prevent derailment of another thread.
As noted already, the topic for debate is geography (and not stickers)...
Technically, the Isle of Man is not part of Great Britain, or the United Kingdom for that matter (and thus is not a member of the EU). It is a self-governing dependancy of the the British Crown and Queen Elizabeth II is the head of state. Great Britain is the combination of England, Scotland, Wales and several surrounding islands, but does not include the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, which are self-governing dependencies with their own tax and legislative systems.

There was some noise raised a little while ago by someone with obviously way too much time on there hands (or perhaps an axe to grind) that the Isle of Man wasn't technically England, hence the requirement to change to Great Britain. The stickers were produced, but I presume old stock was utilised first.
