Reply to: Singing the Anthem

To be fair it pretty much is. I doubt most Americans (or other nationalities outside the rugby world) are really aware of the Welsh - they probably rank up their with Moldova in notoriety. The Scots are quite famous though.

That's why the Yank asked the Scotsman if they were the people who had sex with sheep. He was most impressed when he was told, "No that's Wales!". Then he asked who it was who had sex with sheep.

It gets better -

"Labour leader says he had not known of requirement to kneel before Queen when he is made privy counsellor"

Jeremy Corbyn may push for privy council changes | Politics | The Guardian

Change the system from the inside Korby - if dividend tax credits are "archaic" then surely kneeling before Her Majesty is also...

No wonder the yanks think UK = England.

4 million people in the west of the UK, and a good few million in the north would also refuse to sing the english national anthem.

Never in a million years for me sorry...

Not a problem being British, but each countries got its own anthem and thats the English one. Get a new separate British one.

What would you prefer "We'll keep the holiday home fires burning" ?

I walked across a wet car park yesterday. Just sayin'.

Its not the English national anthem (ask what the English anthem is rather than the British and most will say Land Of Hope And Glory or Rule Britannia), its the Anthem of the United Kingdom, you might not like that you are part of the UK and thus Westminster centric, but you have to lump it as recent nationalist experiments have proven failures.

No I like being part of the UK. I just like being Welsh as part of the UK and not English.

Wrong again!
God Save The Queen is the national anthem for the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. England doesn't, officially, have its own national anthem.

OK but its the one that they will be singing before England matches at the world cup.... No wonder the yanks think UK = England.

Perhaps England should bugger off and get their own then..

It's well known that Daniel Radcliffe will always kneel in front of a long sword.

Not a Pork one though, since he is also a Dead Sea Pedestrian 🐷
