Subject: RE: Plans to scrap the May Day bank holiday
On the other hand, I know loads of songs about Nelson and camping in Britain in October is such a joy.... ;-)

Chorus
Here's one two three jolly lads all in one mind
We are come a Trafalging and I hope you'll prove kind
And I hope you'll prove kind with your eggs and strong beer
For we'll come no more nigh you until the next year

And the first that comes in is Lord Nelson you'll see
With a bunch of blue ribbons tied round by his knee
And a star on his breast that like silver doth shine
And I hope he remembers it's Trafalgar Day time

And the next that comes in it is Lord Collingwood
And he fought with Lord Nelson till he shed his blood
And he's come from the sea old England to view
And he's come a Trafalging with all of his crew

And the last that comes in is Old Tosspot you'll see
He's a valiant old man in every degree
He's a valiant old man and he wears a pigtail
And all his delight is a-drinking mulled ale

Come ladies and gentlemen sit by the fire
Put your hands in your pockets and give us our desire
Put your hands in your pockets and treat us all right
If you give nowt we'll take nowt farewell and good night

Hmm, I'm not sure....
