No. They are independent self-governing countries ('British Overseas Territories'), who are under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom, but they are neither part of the UK nor are they part of the British Isles.
The Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are not British Overseas Territories - they are Crown Dependencies. They are not part of the United Kingdom but they are considered part of the British Isles.
Hope this clarifies things!
Excellent. I thought it seemed a bit odd. Now, who's going to tell NASA?
I mean, if they brought a spacecraft down just off Ascension, and expected to set sail from Portsmouth to pick the astronauts up, they'd have a long trip....

I think we should all join together in one big political entity called the Western Isles Alliance, invade Europe, and subject them all to cr@ppy food and sh!te weather.good thinking but what about northern ireland....who then wouldn't recognise the use of Ireland
of simply the western islands of europe, which I forgot to add in my earlier post includes iceland

Mate of mine got a lift after spending a couple of months on a kibbutz. "So," says the driver, on discovering he's picked up a Brit, "how's the war going?" "WAR?" said my friend, "What war?" "Oh, you're at war, hadn't you heard?" "No," said my mate. "Who with, for Chrissakes?" "Argentina." "Argentina?" "Yes - they invaded the Falklands." My mate said that really did his head in. He wasn't sure, but he thought the Falklands were round the Orkneys or somewhere. What the bloody hell were Argentina doing up there?
