buck   11 #73 Posted September 27, 2015 Years ago back in UK watching American war movies, they'd up and start playing the music to God Save The Queen, which I thought was really nice of them, till I found out the words were "My Country tis of thee" Now when they sing it, I go God save the Queen, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
flamingjimmy   10 #74 Posted September 27, 2015 Agreed, Rule Britannia would be my choice - upbeat and just a touch jingoistic.  Isn't rule Brittania not really about our country so much as about the fact that we used to have the world's best navy and literally did used to 'rule the waves'?  Perhaps we should sing 'rule USA, USA rules the waves' to update for accuracy.  ---------- Post added 27-09-2015 at 02:30 ----------  How many times. Great Britain is not a country.  http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/blog/2011/08/whats-the-difference-between-uk-britain-and-british-isles/  What a petty thing to keep going on about.  It's not like you're even 100% right anyway, the word 'country' has more than one definition and GB certainly fits some of them.  I'm all for you arguing with the horrible jingoists but not about something as ridiculously petty and unimportant as that pedantry!
