Ummm I didn't nean to open a can of worms here. But I guess this does need to be be right for us to handle the Channel Islands.
I just looked up the Association of British Counties website and it states that there are 86 counties, The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are not amongst them.
According to other information the Channel Island bailiwicks of Jersey and Guernsey and the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea are Crown Dependencies and are possessions of The Crown in Right of the United Kingdom, as opposed to overseas territories or colonies of the United Kingdom.

They are in effect their own country but are "owned" by the British Crown and are not as such sovereign nations in their own right.

With all that in mind, we should not include the them under the UK as I first thought, but instead put them in as their own country.

Hope that clears it up a bit for everyone.

Cheers
