    I'd prefer 'The Sash'. Would go down well with the Northern Irish.

    I'd prefer what Billy Connolly suggested many years ago . . . . the theme from The Archers :emoticon-0105-wink:

    I reckon that`s got as much chance as Onward Christian Soldiers.

    I think you will find that his verse was never included in the National Anthem which was originally from a Music hall show at the time of one of the rebellions.
    The Scots still include the verse when teaching school childred.

    Maybe 'The magic roundabout' as it typifies the crazy world we are living in. Or even ANY song from the film 'Frozen' as mentioning the film to any frikin female I know (from 2 to 80) makes them burst into passionate singing.......aggggghhh, <steam> see, division again

    If we were to have an English national anthem for sporting events , in the same way that Wales and Scotland do, then surely it would have to be Jerusalem..I'm not religious at all, but this song stirs the blood..

    But all we sing is god save the queen... The following 5 verses aren't part of the national anthem anymore as no ****er sings them.

    It is very much a song for the Queen and God.

    Two outdated and ridiculous ideologies.

    Just coz we don't sing them doesn't mean they're not there mate.

    Personally I'd go for Land of Hope and Glory!

    I'm going to upset some apple carts here, but I'd stick with God Save the Queen. I'll never forget the first time I saw her of this newfangled thing called television. It was the 1953 FA Cup Final. She hadn't even been crowned yet. Her father, King George VI, had died in November 1952, and her coronation wasn't until June 2nd., 1953. But she did the honours at the Cup Final. All us thick young 'uns didn't know who was the biggest star right then - the new young Queen or ... HIM!

    Stanley had been to three Cup Finals. He'd lost 4-2 to Manchester United in 1948, lost again 2-1 in 1951 to ... er ... I can't remember who it was (though Wij, Sombrero &co. are allowed a broad smile here). But after one of the most famous of all 20 minute spells of football, the great Stanley Matthews had his Cup Wilnner's medal. Wow, unforgettable.

    And what a nice figure she had. Though, of course, we wouldn't have dared to say such a thing about Her Majesty then. Oh, my goodness, perish the thought <laugh>

    Fair enough mate.

    Just one question, what National Anthem did you sing when the Plantagenets were on the throne? :emoticon-0136-giggl

    I only do that to humour you, boy. I plan to stay here only until I'm 123 years-old, And then I'm going to retire and watch you suffer. Once the youngsters like a 70 year-old Billy, and 80 year-old Commo set about you, you'll know how it feels, mate. Oh, it's coming. <laugh>
