Re: Then the UK will shrink even further!

Someone (Mitch Benn?) wrote a silly song about our name. And settled on Ukogbani. Which is the acronym for The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Which I believe is still the longest official country name in the world. If ambassadors had to have their country name printed on their back, like footballers, all our diplomats would have to be either shot putters, or massively greedy.
