What will the U.K. be called after Scotland leave?

[jefmcg]

What about an entirely new name? Something catchy. Something Hipsters would like.

Cool Britannia? </shudder>

Fool Britania!

How about The 52nd State.

Since you all like your history, a commemoration of the engineering feat that is the London Sewer system.......


...... Great Sh*tain!

In that case I suggest it be 'Lower Britain'.

How about The 52nd State.

Only if we let in Puerto Rico first. Otherwise, I think you'd be 51. As always with the British, you get to be at the head of the line. Because you're nice.

If some of the more rabid 'yes' supporters are to be believed, the rest of the union will be renamed "London" if Scotland go it alone.

Smug UK - when we see those poor Scots in permanent economic decline, illiterate, and with a life expectancy of 52.

Woohoo I've beat it

South Britain

After all, wasn't Scotland referred to as North Britain for some time after the '45, to try to remove national identity (along with banning tartans etc).

Given that the union of the crowns between Scotland and England will still be in place with the Queen as head of State of Scotland and the other countries of the current UK, it will still be a united kingdom but comprised of two separate states. I don't think that the remaining parts should use the name United Kingdom, but they probably will.

Poundland? (Bend over!)

Seriously though, Bottom Britain, Arseland..... It all leads back to my suggestion earlier of Great Sh*tain!!

and my wine cellar is only three quarters full and I've had to sell the second Rolls

It's impacting up North too. I've had to sell the servants' holiday home.

I don't expect we'll bother to change it... it's been a Queendom since 1952 and we haven't bothered.

The thing is, something has to be written on this
