Most of the GB gold medalists are English. More Welsh than Scots too. Hoy is a machine though.
Who gives a fuck. We are all British. It's team GB for a reason.

You normally get a KBE or peerage for winning 2 gold medals at one games, what is he going to get, a blowjob from the Queen?

Piffle. Henry Taylor, who won three gold medals at the London Games in 1908, didn't get anything at all. Matthew Pinsent and Steve Redgrave were only knighted after winning gold medals in four and five Games respectively. Granted, Kelly Holmes was made a Dame after winning two gold medals in Athens, and Tanni Grey-Thompson got a DBE shortly after winning two in the 2004 Paralympic Games (though she 'only' got an OBE in 2000, the year in which she won four golds), but I don't think you can say "normally", and if you can think of an athlete who has been awarded a peerage for immediate sporting achievement (so not Seb Coe, then), you're doing better than I.

There's no way, I think, that the Aussies can beat us. I hope they're not so sour when I travel there in September

"The entirety of these definitions lie outside the gamut of the sRGB color space — such a pure color cannot be represented using RGB primaries. The color swatch to the right is a desaturated approximation, created by taking the centroid of the standard definition and moving it towards the D65 white point, until it meets the sRGB gamut triangle."

Precisely I was showing that calling the Olympic Squad Scottish is daft since we're all English, Welsh and Scottish. GB ftw.
