Are the Channel Islands a separate country, or part of England?

Didn't some bloke post from Columbia not so long ago?

[masoth]

Don't remember him, Prozac - I'll add it as a "maybe" and therefore the score is now:
25 + 1

soth

Well scotland , ireland and wales are

[masoth]

Ashore, yes but Australia has inhabited islands and they are not even states let alone countries, I'm trying to remember if Guernsey and Jersey are separate competitors at the Commonwealth Games - I think they are - which suggests country status.

soth

Norfolk Island , Isle of man , Guernsey and Jersey all compete under their own flags at the commonwealth games

[masoth]

Ashore, that's good enough for me! Soo now the total countries found is 27 + 1.
The 1 outstanding is Columbia (thought, by prozac, to have posted) unless any one can say positively we do have a contributer from there.

[RufflyRustic]

I second Columbia

[masoth]

Thanks Ruffly so the number is definitely 28.

They are a British crown colony and definitely not part of the UK for they have their own separate laws dealing with taxation, trusts, companies and citizenship aspects. A little known and often overlooked tax haven.

Visited a few times in a previous life setting up tax minimisation schemes.
