    When do we compete as England and when as the UK?

    Olympics we were the UK. Commonwealth games we are England. Or it is just because the games are hosted in Scotland?

    The four home countries all compete seperately at the Commonwealth Games. They're different realms within the United Kingdom (or something like that).

      Not sure there's a hard and fast rule.

      Presumably if Scotland vote 'yes' they can put up their own Eurovision entry

              Scotland do compete in football and also have a cricket team.

              Both are complete tulip - probably because they need more immigrants...........

                Are you saying that as an Englishman, "British Citizen", or Johnny foreigner?

                    I a permie so clearly one of them.

                    I suppose its hard to tell who is "us" as its ContractorUK. I made the old mistake of assuming that UK=England.
