flopsymopsy Administrator Registered: Sat May 17 2008 Posts: 5470 Loc: Northampton England UK	Steve Ovett: English former Olympic gold medalist; middle distance runner I think that, unless you get stripped of a medal because of an offence of some sort, once a medalist always a medalist - the word 'former' needs to be removed. He could also be described as 'British' instead of English. _________________________ The Hubble Telescope has just picked up a sound from a fraction of a second before the Big Bang.

No comment on the Brit vs. English part. I am not getting involved in that. I will leave that to your side of the pond.
