GB, UK , does it matter?

Just noticed that, when you select your 'country' on this blog site, selecting UK actually generates GB.

Now there's a difference between "Great Britain" and the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". Does the apparently internationally agreed GBR three letter abbreviation for Britain mean GB or UK? I don't know. Does it matter? I don't know. It only seems to affect people from Northern Ireland.

So does this kind of thing irritate people from Northern Ireland? Again I don't know. All being well the Northern Irish are less pedantic than I am.
