Geordie, I'm another GB (of the Graham Bartlett variety).

McGrath, it's only one Kingdom cos there's only one King. England and Wales were one entity much earlier (although the Welsh might dispute this :-), and when James the First (aka James the Third of Scotland, since Scotland had already had 2 Jameses) then one king ruled the whole of mainland Britain.
