    So,should Scotland go for independence (and I'm beginning to think they might), what are the rest of us going to be called? Currently the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Great Britain refers to the island which is made up of England, Scotland, and Wales. United Kingdom refers to the unification of the kingdoms of England (which included Wales) and Scotland. The only bit of the current name which would make any sense would be Northern Ireland. What should a new country consisting of England, Wales, and Northern Ireland be called? No politicising please, just a bit of fun.

      And... if Scotland won't be part of it again. How would the UK flag look like? Would you just remove that blue/white background? :)

        Some possibilities: - England. Let's be honest, that's what the rest of the world is going to call you (they already do). - UK. What independence? Will the rest of world even notice? - K. No more U, just K. It's stupid and no one will accept it, but at least somewhat accurate.

          Might have to move to scotland, the scottish government looks less likely to be full of clowns.

                                          If the prophet of doom merchants have their way, the Scots might just end up building the luxury car division of Trabant, known as DK.

                                          If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.
