An English Anthem would not relate the Celtic fringes, not even Cornwall I suspect. As a Staffordshire man I am proud to "English" until I hear "Match of the Day" and what the footie crowd may have got up to, in some far off foreign field!

"Match of the Day" should be struck! Football is not always Englands Glory. Game yes, once in 1966. Fans er.. not in my name.

Having said that I have no obviuos suggestions for an English National Anthem. Whatever, it should be sung with a stiff upper lip and be ever so polite. Don't you know?
