:angry: And another thing, Why are so many of you English flying the union flag, are you not proud to be English? The Scots and the Welsh Fly their own flags and rightly so, The flag of St George, you'll find it under ESTONIA' My God, Next thing Scotland, Wales and Union flag will all disappear and be replaced by the bloody Euro banner thingy

Hi Drewpy, and I thought the George cross was a medal, anyway, point is when when new members join and are asked to pick a country flag, England isnt there, and after all, we do have a flag....dont we.

Im proud to be English (although my family are originally from somewhere else!), but i am also proud to be a member of the United Kingdom, which embraces all the countries which are part of it. I see no need to segregate myself from the scots or the welsh or anyone else in the UK for that matter - therefore i fly the Union Jack with pride :D

1. God save our gracious Queen,

Long live our noble Queen,

God save the Queen!

Send her victorious,

Happy and glorious,

Long to reign over us;

God save the Queen!

2. O Lord our God arise,

Scatter her enemies

And make them fall;

Confound their politics,

Frustrate their knavish tricks,

On Thee our hopes we fix,

God save us all!

3. Thy choicest gifts in store

On her be pleased to pour;

Long may she reign;

May she defend our laws,

And ever give us cause

To sing with heart and voice,

God save the Queen! 4. Not in this land alone,

But be God's mercies known,

From shore to shore!

Lord make the nations see,

That men should brothers be,

And form one family,

The wide world over.

5. From every latent foe,

From the assassins blow,

God save the Queen!

O'er her thine arm extend,

For Britain's sake defend,

Our mother, prince, and friend,

God save the Queen!

6. Lord grant that Marshal Wade

May by thy mighty aid

Victory bring.

May he sedition hush,

And like a torrent rush,

Rebellious Scots to crush.

God save the Queen

WHoops Just getting Carried away

Actually, the pedant in me says that the English flag is officially known as St George's Cross. The George Cross and The Cross of St George are UK and Russian medals respectivley. Sadly, it is not uniquely English, as it is also the National flag of Georgia, although the Georgian flag has an additional Swiss-style red cross in each of the four white sections.

Gawd; how dull was THAT post? I'll get me coat. :P
