Re: A doleful sycophant dirge

When I was a Girl the National Anthem was played in Cinemas at the end of the Film...there was always a mad rush for the exit just before it started...I still feel the same about it.

Is there anything left about this country worth vowing to?

It's been broken by Blair.

Hi Sunny May, I too remember those times. We always tried to grab the back seats at the Cinema so we could be first out as soon as the main film finished. Sitting anywhere else and we usually had to stand and wait while the dirge was played as it was considered too rude to walk while the anthem was being played. (it was so slow I often wished I had a handle I could turn to speed it along).
