Sorry, I should have made myself clearer.

I was meaning in America they're generally called band aid's, but in The UK we call them plasters.

Sorry if that wasn't clear before!

LOL! Britain and the UK are the same country, just different names.
Wrong. UK means - Isle of White, Isle of Man, Shetland Isles, Wales, Britain, Scotland and a few more islands wink :) Britain just means England happy :)
