Thread Name: English National Anthem
Subject: RE: BS: English National Anthem
Presumably we've already got an English (and Welsh) National Anthem. Certainly we shouldn't use God Save the Queen for a UK national anthem with the verse in it that's so beastly about the Scots. Perhaps somebody would post the words to show the rest of the world.

Any road, there's only one anthem and that's t'Anthem. (Holmfirth Anthem for the geographically challenged - those of you who live outside Yorkshire). It's even got stuff about 'fighting French and Spaniards' in it! What else do we need? The best thing about Holmfirth Anthem is not the fairly meaningless words, but the singability. You've got to be in the right place at the right time to experience it.
