      Great Britain at the Olympics - Wikipedia
      I think you are agreeing with me that its not Team UK but Team GB?

        I’m agreeing that it’s called Team GB, sure. That’s not the point though.

        You could call them “four blokes and a duck” if you like, they compete representing the United Kingdom and sing the UK national anthem.....

              but yes, I am being pedantic. But I'm just countering the tendency for the English to refer to the UK as England
              And 100% talking tosh!

              If your "1/8 Irish" refers to Ireland (as apposed to NI) then you're 6/8 British and 1/8 Irish You seem to have lost an 1/8th of a nationality somewhere

              Which nation does your Jewish 1/8th ancestry come from?

              If you're only 1/8th Jewish then what religion is the other 7/8th? Catholic, CofE, Muslim, Jedi?

                an inneresting number, perhaps?

                    I have a good new national anthem. Not sure who released it originally, might have been the New York Dolls, but it was covered by Guns n Roses and I think quite appropriate

                      Great Britain, Britain, the UK and the British Isles, are all different entities.

                      Great Britain is the biggest island of the British Isles that include Ireland. Britain is strictly speaking England and Wales. The UK is England, Wales, Northern Ireland and Scotland. However, Britain nowadays is synonymous with the UK.
