Immigration should not, I hope, cause any great ill effects to English Traditions, as there are obviously many people on this thread alone trying to continue them. Emmigration causes them to spread further afield, as can be proven by the vast numbers of people practising the English Traditions, Morris Dancing, Singing Traditional songs, Drinking Beer and even in some cases Soccer (or subtitute sport of choice)Hooliganism, on this side of the Atlantic. Canada in my case.

The other direction of this thread seems to be Dragons, now please do not think me a dragon hater, I have even made some wrought iron ones to hold my daughters curtains up and we do have a few around the house. It is like this though the only song that I can think of that has not been mentioned yet is one with the Dragon on the losing side, "Sir Eglamore that Valiant Knight". Sorry JohnB
