Scotland is not a different country(!)

Tell that to a Scot, rather to his face.

Quite.

I wouldn't go as far to say Scotland is part of England,

Though you just did! "It's not a different country" = "It's the same
country", in case you're wondering.

I never said Scotland was part of England. You're getting your England,
Great Britain, United Kingdom, British Isles, British Empire, Wales,
Scotland, Ireland/Eire/Irish Free State, Northern Ireland/Ulster/Six
Counties confused.

The 'country' is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
United refers to the Act of Union a couple of hundred years ago, doesn't it?
This joined Scotland and England, of course the Kings of England were from
Scotland a hundred years before that and from Germany a hundred years after.
It's really all rather simple

Just don't think it's as simple as Scotland being part of England, that's
all.


but I be interested if anyone is planning to follow Scotland's progress
at the
Olympics next year, or England's for that matter.

I don't know. Are they planning on sending separate teams, then? I
suspect the Scots and the English would follow their progress with
some interest. Why? Do you think they wouldn't?

I don't think they've ever sent separate teams, or ever planned to. The team
is Great Britain, wonder if there are any people from Northern Ireland in
it... confusing don't you think? Of course The football (soccer) teams are
England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, there is no Great Britain or
UK football team. It means that there has to remain a Football Association
for the various 'countries' and some form of league. This doesn't apply to
atheletics, although I've just wondered whether football is played at the
Olympics and where the GB team would come from...

And there are still no banknotes in Scotland that are legal tender (nor from
Northern Ireland for that matter)

Thanks
