Thread Name: What do the Irish call the British Isles
Subject: RE: What do the Irish call the British Isles
I'm not saying they always get on with each other up in Scandinavia, but they managed to split up without endless bloodshed and wrangling. And Scandinavia is a neutral and inoffensive term in a way that British isn't at present.

Maybe when the Union finally goes the constituent parts will be referred to Yugoslav style - "the Former United Kingdom Republic of Scotland - FUKROS"...
