Thread Name: A national anthem for England
Subject: RE: A national anthem for England
I wasn't commenting on the piece as much as your own introduction to it. "I thought this was an interesting collection of English anthems" Was just pointing out that for instance the words to Rule Britannia are about Britain as a whole and not just England = and they were written by a Scot. It isn't an English anthem.

I know us non-English Brits can be a but pernickity about that but you should be used to it by now :-)
