Is Cornwall English? - twenty thousand Cornish men, Will know the reason why!
If we include Norfolk, Wild Rover - but Ireland got to brand that one.
Rule Brittania I think they would recognise. But sing?
Danny Boy, written by a Bristolian in Bristol. tune - Londerry Air, subject - Irish.
Maggie May - that would confuse them.
Fishermen of England - too obscure, even for many English.
London Pride - would they know that one?
London Bridge is Falling Down - ah maybe. Had to be Lundun innit?
