The British Olympic Association has confirmed that the name Team GB came from the oh-so-British Marzena Bogdanowicz. No one seems to have given a stuff whether we got the name of our country right, as long as it sounded good.
Except, perhaps, Gordon Brown. The man has plans for a football team in the 2012 Olympics taken from England, Scotland, Wales and N. Ireland for Team GB - and then he corrected himself with one of those sickening, artificial smiles, and said 'Team UK'.
The business about the football seems to be a mistake, though. The Scots are horrified at the idea and there is a by-election coming up in Fife.
