But there was some argument about the Irish / Welsh / Scottish and we
agreed, that it would be better to avoid having a UK or British in the name.
After all we do want to work with everyone, but we can only have a legal
base within the reach of the UK laws, thus the reason for funding an
organisation here. As Georg said: It's just a legal hack. And

  "I'm going to an affs meeting"

isn't that much different really.
