Thread Name: A national anthem for England
Subject: RE: A national anthem for England
IMO, a better choice than 'Gold' would be There'll Always Be An England (written in 1940 by Ross Parker & Harry Par-Davies). A stirring tune, and the lyrics are:

There'll always be an England
While there's a country lane,
Wherever there's a cottage small
Beside a field of grain.
There'll always be an England
While there's a busy street,
Wherever there's a turning wheel,
A million marching feet.

Which would fit in rather well with the government's attempts to send us all to work on foot, don't you think? ;-)
