I guess Scotland would end up top of that if they were independent
Apart from the fact as stated before Chris Hoy is based in Manchester and funded mainly by English money....I guess the Sweaties would be a bit similar to Eire, but wouldn't spend as much money. |

Surely the population to Gold Medals table would be destroyed by Mark Phelps declaring independence: 8 golds per 1 of population is a fair feat.

Don't know anything about Mark Phelps....but Brian Phelps could probably declare independence....being banged up on 9 year stretch for a bit of teh Gary Glitter's, having previously won a bronze in the 1960 Rome Olympics at diving. |

Not only would Scotland be top of the medals table, they'd also win X-Factor, be the world's leading superpower, have cured the common cold, solved global warming and colonised Mars if only we'd set them free and give them their oil revenue back. And invented the SlimFast low-fat deep fried pizza and Mars Bar in batter based diet. Bastard colonialists, eh? |

Hey there's no need for you all to get fucking chippy about it, all I did was a bit of simple maths, I wasn't making some sort of reasoned argument for Scottish Independence based on a bit of sporting success.
What the fuck should I care I'm Welsh.

Erm, I was taking the piss. Must say I was expecting a bite from the Tartan contingent on here, not the Welsh, but it's all good ;-) |

he'd have to swim all 4 legs for the team events though - might be blowing a bit at the end! |
