Team Great Britain’s triumph at the Beijing Olympics has cheered the country. For me, the fact that we’re competing as Great Britain is part of the pleasure. ‘Great Britain’ has a certain ring to it that warms the heart in the way that ‘United Kingdom’ never does. (It helps that even the abbreviated ‘GB’ sounds nicer than ‘Youkay’…) And, as a Welshman, I have to say that Beijing shows that we’re stronger united than alone.
