Hear, hear, Les. In today's PC world many fear to tread the line between nostalgia and not wanting to be jingoistic. I say "don't worry", because jingoism is not in the action, but in the intention. And as long as the intention is honourable, the action should not give cause for grave offence; perhaps just a mild reminder/reprimand. A little common sense, open-mindedness and willingness to forgive minor and unintentional trespasses goes a long way; let's use them to resist PC-madness.
See you at the Extravaganza, I hope (?)
