Team What?

There has been a lot of complaints about the new kit for the UK's athletes at the Olympic Games. I don't really share this view: there is some red, some white and some blue on the shirts, which is about as much as you can expect if you waste money asking Stella McCartney to design it (as if enough money hadn't been wasted on this vanity project already).

What I do object to is that we have got the name of the team wrong. The country is called The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland so the team should be called 'Team UK', not 'Team GB'. We screwed this up last time - how come nobody has noticed?
