For some things yes and some things no.

Let's be honest, since the Ashes victory the UK hasn't had a lot to shout about from a sporting perspective.

That's always true I think.

I would love to know exactly how the 500 million spondoolies that was spent on UK sport helped achieve this turnaround?

Out of curiosity, when did a *we* become a *they*?

Is this a citizenship requirement thing?

In my post I referred to 'them' as the sportsmen and women of GB. I am not one of those so I can't refer to them as 'we' Unfortunately I would also refer to British millionaires as 'them' too

People really look too hard in threads sometimes to find something that isn't there

Makes sense

I guess as someone who's fanatical about British sport (you know, shares the highs and feels the pain of the lows) I was wondering if there'd ever be a time where I'd refer to EG the English football team, as "they"

Looks like I'll be ok. I'll sleep well tonight
