Frightened about my future - part 2.

Hi all,

While we are on the topic of flags, I heard on the car radio that the flag of St. George is going to be flown on 10 Downing Street!

Not sure whether this is a wind-up!

Also, a local pub has a big sign up about World Cup matches being shown there next to - a Union Jack! Think they may have missed the point!

Funny :rotfl: :rotfl:

Also, the union jack thing is funny - I always comment on that, wait and see what happens when England Line-Up - betcha they play "God Save" - which as you know is the Great British anthem... they always mess up on that one! yet what do we do in Scotland?, we'll sing "Flower of Scotland" which is, last I knew, the Scottish anthem not the British anthem!

Typical thick English mentality! :rotfl: :rotfl:

Don't think we have an "English" anthem. I knew that the rugby team play "Flower of Scotland" - do they do this for the football, as well?

Also, someone said the other day that most of the English players do not even sing the national anthem!

So it wasn't a wind-up!

Cameron after photo-opportunities? First Thatcher, now this!

Suppose he thinks it will take people's minds off all those cuts they are going to make very soon!

Oops, getting a bit political here!

Thanks Beanie,

Now I have seen it for myself!

It's a shame that all those who fly the English flag when there's a football match coming up don't fly it on St George's Day as well. And I think we should have an English anthem - any suggestions? I know the Rugby chaps have Swing Low Sweet Chariot.
