One of the many things I don't understand about the Olympics?

Why is it called "Team GB" and not "Team UK"

Surely there is a 21st Century equivalent Mary Peters or two in this years team?

Can someone enlighten?

while I'm here, can I just say that I saw his missus (ex missus?) on telly recently and she's a fuckin' fright!

never did like her, but by Christ she's not ageing well

I concur, she's looking more like her dad with each passing year.
