Team GB & Northern Ireland

[spotit3]

Just thought I would remind everyone that the official team name is Team GB and Northern Ireland. Since it is a bit a mouthful everyone has shortened it to team GB. Nice to remember the Northern Ireland bit as we have certainly helped in the medals tally.
A better name would have been Team UK but for some reason this was ruled out.

Full marks to Cornwall and Yorkshire! I was just commenting that very few people seem to be aware that the official chosen name for our team was Team GB & Northern ireland.

I raised this ( http://www.theanswerb.../Question1158975.html ) and got a bit of stick from a poster but his posts seem to have been removed but I also got many good answers
