Roger Mosey's response is just a load of flannel. There is absolutely no doubt that "Team GB" is just plain wrong, just as "Team UK" would be absolutely correct.
Similarly, why did the £Sterling become the GBP, when Sterling is still the currency of Northern Ireland (not "the North of Ireland" please)? I can understand non UK computer keyboards not having a £ key (in the same way mine doesnt have one for the Euro, but what was wrong with UKP?
we do have people from Northern Ireland in the team don't we?
I think I'm right in saying that when UK athletics were at their low point, Mary Peters won us our only gold in the Munich Olympics. Although born in England she was enthusiastic about her adopted homeland, and insisted on returning to Northern Ireland, even though as a high-profile successful Protestant she was a target for republican terrorists.
Oh yes, nearly forgot - Alex Salmond is a T**T!
