They need to sort their cuffing lives out, pissing everyone about with these CONSTANT name-changes.

Czechoslovakia. Then Czech Republic. Now this latest "Czechia" BOBBINS. Oh la-de-dah, bit bored with ENGLAND now. Lets change it to Englasia, or Englalalaland.

Pick a name and STICK to it, you eastern european, Nazi-surrendering no-marks.

I've always thought that Britia would be more appropriate.

 

[Stoo82]

Isn't the old name something like Bohemia? Much better I'd thought.

My mother still calls it Czechoslovakia here. Im not bothering to tell her about this.

and your Mum's right

But wasn't it as a result of the splitting up of Czechoslovakia into Slovakia, Slovenia etc. so perhaps nothing to get up tight about !

Slovenia was part of Yugoslavia, not Czechoslovakia.

Slovenia was part of Yugoslavia, not Czechoslovakia.

Quite right, Czechoslovakia parted on very amiable terms, unlike the Yugoslav republics.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

When I spent time visiting Slovakia, the locals always called the other place 'Chekia' ot somesuch. Anyway, wind up thread

My Slovakian ex called it Czechia well over a decade ago.

After the Boston bombers were revealed as having come from Chechnya, there were Americans tweeting posts about bombing the Czech Republic in retaliation. Obviously we are talking about people,with American geographical knowledge... Ive not seen any reactiion here other than, why bother when a lot of people in the world have no clue where Czech Republic is anyway.
