English National Anthem

[kamroo]

Have posted here as you are probably the people to write a new national anthem

Time for England to have its Own National Anthem.

One that is LOUD, SINGABLE and lets us put our hand on heart and be proud of being ENGLISH.

If you think the same please follow the link and sign the Petition.

I have asked for a New National Anthem only because we borrow the British one at the moment.

Old favourites are not out of the question, the Referendum could sort that out.

Hey

I can write it for you if you want?

What referendum?

Cheers

John

You'd consider a Scotsman to write the anthem? Excellent!

I don't have a problem with that, some might!

They did a good job with Flower of Scotland

Who told you that?

I am seriously allergic to such notions.

But would otherwise support Billy Connolly's suggestion of the theme from 'The Archers'.

[john]

Flower of Scotland sucks.

Scots Wha Hae has a more driving tempo and better lyrics

[Steve]

I vote for this! With a few changes to the lyrics, we could be on to a winner!

[ATom2]

Hey, I'd do it but I have two problems.

1. I don't speak english &
   
2. I don't remember how it feels to be proud of my country.

Whoa! That is a terrible song, and video.

Whoa! That is a terrible song, and video.

And hence, somehow, delightfully appropriate.

I think ‘An English Country Garden’ would make a fine ENA. Or maybe ‘For Those In Peril On The Sea’ even.

What about the theme from the Titanic movie

[Steve]

What about the theme from the Titanic movie

I'm not sure you're taking this seriously...?

[john]

How about something like this:

"Oh, say! can you see by the dawn's early light ...."

licence.'

Oh boo.

And shame.

No licence = no BBC.

Are you sure about that ?

[Rudi]

Positive, but you can pay the license fee if you think so much of them. I'll have to start paying it again in October, and I dont even watch the sodding BBC.

[Lazz]

Steady on Rude.

Perchance a tad extreme, that...

I live many miles removed and can't recall what was going on in the Archers.

And even while resident, to be perfectly frank, I never coughed up for a licence.

(No, not me guv', that's someone else's job.)

But lost over here as I am, on a continent almost totally devoid of journalistic and broadcast standards, I value the BBC.

Just A Minute, I'm Sorry I haven't A Clue, radio drama, international correspondents, culture and critique, integrity, satire, loads of laughs....

Plus it is my perspective that the noble institution is being pursued purely for its constantly critical stance, for being a thorn in the side, for doing its job as a public service, and consequently I'm against any shape of campaign to weaken it even further.

I'm sorry you have to pay if you don't want to or shouldn't need to.

[Lazz]

OK then

How about the theme from Match Of The Day ?

All it needs is lyrics.

I'll start...

I am a nasty grumpy bastard

A miserable git.

Desrves to be lambasted

For being full of...

Next!
