For tax (eg no VAT, and interest is not taxed at source) and separate government reasons they are abroad, but some people would feel that they are part of either the United Kingdom, Great Britain, or the British Isles, but still vaguely separate, without being very specific in their minds about how. Sports people from there could represent any of the UK countries; two footballers from Jersey and Guernsey have represented England in the last few years.

But I'm not going to get a Guernsey SIM card, as they have rather high roaming rates, and I assume the EU Commissioner has no influence on this.
