I hear her cry all day, all night
I hear her voice from deep within the wall

Made a grave from hoover bags

One of the many things I don't understand about the Olympics?
Why is it called "Team GB" and not "Team UK"

Can someone enlighten?

I thought a "House Martin" was the full name of a TV doctor but with it reversed like "Team UK"
