national anthem

[tinbasher]

Hi everyone

My daughter's school sing it all the time. The first assembly that I went to they put the words up on the board and asked everyone to join in. So I embrassed the moment of being in Oz and set off singing (or in my case yelling) at full pelt. Only to find that all the ozzies in the crowd didn't follow my lead. I was left standing there on my own, a Yorkshire lass singing her heart out, however been a true Brit I did not give up and carried on until the end .

I love the flag waving and the fact people are proud to be Australian. I'm proud to sing (well, mumble off-key) the national anthem. Especially at Crow's games! So there!:)

I think it all goes hand in hand; pride in this awesome country, it's people and our freedom; flag waving etc is just an extension of that. One of the (few) things that bugged me about Britain was that it just didn't seem p.c. to wave the English flag, celebrate St. George's day, or even remember that Christmas is a christian celebration and not just a holiday. :mad:

Ooh, I'm fighting mad now. Nah, not really for I am just a

Lazy Cow.:wub:

I totally agree with you mad Cow, they have such pride in their National anthem. That was what annoyed me about the UK and not being PC to do all sorts of things. You keep on your high moral ground it's a good place to be.
