ECCA - Why UK?

[flimflam]

Hi,

I was just browsing over at UKVapers and noticed a discussion about a logo for ECCA and it got me thinking about the name itself.

The 'ECCA' bit I get, but why the 'UK'? I mean the US version (CASAA) didn't feel the need to add 'US' at the end.

Surely by it's nature ECCA is a local (UK) organisation, so why further specify?

If consumer organisations spring up in other countries then they too will be local and have to deal with other national govts etc, and unless English speaking, would be unlikely to settle on a similar name.

Not trying to be funny here, I just don't see the logic so I thought I'd ask. If there's no strong reason for the 'UK' bit, then following the 'KISS' principle it should be dropped. Would also make designing the logo a tad easier

All the best,
John

Ooh, I just had a thought, if Scotland devolves, will we end up naming the bits
like they did in Yugoslavia - like the Former UK Repbulic of Scotland/England/Wales/
Northern Ireland?

Should make the Olympics more fun...
