Scene:
Wimbledon 2016 J.W. Tsonga (FRA) vs A. Murray (GBR) on TV. S and I are cuddled up on the sofa, G cooking dinner or doing something in the kitchen.
Conversation:
S: Where is Tsonga from?
Me: France, see it says FRA next to him for France.
S: Oh, but Andy is English, right?
Me: Yup, see, it says right there... GBR for Great Britain.
S: So, why is it not GFRA?
Me: What?
S: GFRA, for Great France.
S said it with all innocence that I gave her a tight squeeze, related the story to G and explained to her that even I cannot figure out what the hell Great Britain, UK, England and all them rubbish stands for. And then this video came along to explain it all so nicely...yup, no one still gets it! Bunch of bollocks to confuse the world.
These guys stole the words from Babs head.
