These are not real separate "countries" are they ?
(I hope not to insult anybody here, but I've always wondered about this...)

you forgot Ulster :badmood:
The U.K in essence is different countries,its just always been united under a monarch.
Scotland has an independant legal system and its own banking system,Wales has it own unique language,Ulster has some very unique institutions.
I like the fact we have four seperate identities and if we had a G.B team it would almost certainly be all english players.
polaris:
we do have gb teams for some sports, the home teams in footy and rugby are too established to change now, and it gives for competition between us.
in the rugby six nations, previously the five nations , england and scotland have their own unique competition for the calcutta cup, and the rivalry between the home teams is massive.
BTW cockney boy, did you know scottish moolah is not legal tender but is just accepted as so.
EDIT spellin
