A single London listing

We added a friend of ours, Kate Lye, to the Nelso database. We realized when adding this record that we didn't have a convention for country code for the United Kingdom. The ISO code for the United Kingdom is actually "GB", not "UK" as some would expect.

The problem is this: we put the country code in the URL for a business listing (i.e. http://www.nelso.com/cz/place/140/ for Kolkovna in Vítězná). Do we want the URL to read http://www.nelso.com/gb/place/XXX/ or http://www.nelso.com/uk/place/XXX/? Does it matter to the GoogleBot?
