Thread Name: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Subject: RE: England's National Musical-Instrument?
Peregrina - of course you're correct. Hence I'm off to live in WAV's England....

Everybody here drinks mead, eats pottage, believes in Jesus & sings in aussie accents. Nobody ever goes anywhere, learns anything, or ever changes. We all look the same, with reassuringly white skin and play all the latest tunes on our pipes & recorders. Anybody attempting any new or different music is either re-programmed, or stripped of their nationality and shipped out of the country never to return.

We have a fine education system which produces university graduates with no sign of any analytical reasoning skills but they can drive a forklift and write really bad poetry. All non-local issues are dealt with by the UN who also forcibly evict anybody attempting to live anywhere other than where they were born.

I've got my pig's bladder, clogs, jags and bubonic plague and with a bit of luck somebody will play the cittern while the barber cuts my leg off.
