We had "Team GB" in the last Olympics.
In the interest of fairness,equality,racial harmony and every other PC factor you can think of should not the team be called "Team NI" in 2012 since the Northen Irish got left out last time?
If I was from NI I would have been truly p***** off.
OOps just realised GB stood for Gordon Brown.

I always thought the full title was Team GB & NI.
But shorted to Team GB as it's easy to say?

Quick someone mention the cost of the Scottish Parliament building. Oh dear, £3 billion (and I bet its £8 billion by the time its finished) pouring into the subsidy junkie that is London. What did new Wembly cost again? Oh, and that dome thingy. Oh, and that new Treasury building......someone should write a letter to the Evening Standard

Hi.I must be one of the few folk in the United Kingdom & Northern Ireland that has never ever had a passport.
You do not need one when visiting Bonnie Scotland.
All you need is a big Umbrella and a can of Midgie repellent.
And not counting the money you save on not having to buy any Sun cream.

I remember being taught that GB was England,Scotland and Wales, and became the 'UK' when NI joined, in the 1920's I think.
