To be honest, I'm pretty shocked team GB is doing so well and glad that us have Scots done our bit too.
Actually when you look at population to medal ratios, the return from Scotland is much greater than from England. Just felt that I had to point that out.
We truly are Olympian heroes up here.

RK - so glad you pointed that out!!!!
OK - debate question...miss know-it-all at our BBQ felt the need to correct me that scotland is a country (now I KNOW it SHOULD be....but)
technically isn't the Country "the united kigdom"
So are Scotland, Wales and England their own "contries"? What about the term britan????
So ok...give me some ammo to go after her with tonight!
:wtf2

Add Yorkshire to the list (Just watch us, the flat cap's n' whippets are biding their time)
The U.K includes England,Scotland,Wales and Northern Ireland
Great Britain is just England,Scotland and Wales
All are separate countries in their own right, with their own parliaments or assemblies.
Hope that helps Ananda.
