The rugby fans I think. I'd have it for the football too, if I could.

Jerusalem is wonderful, though I think the irony in Blake's words is missed by most of those who sing it.

Was the Marseillese not written by a royalist and hijacked by the Jacobins?

Floor O'Scotland, Bero I think, is a pathetic tune. My mother, a true Scot hates the tune. As a new anthem for Scotland you could have some more poignant tunes, that reflect the amount of extra money you get over the English from central government. How about Gimme, Gimme, Gimme by Abba perchance? Don't dislike the Scots but why do you get free benefits that I ahve to pay for?

The most stirring national anthem is 'Land Of My Father's' from Wales, just in case anyone didn't realise.

Rule Britannia would get my vote but Land of our Fathers, sang at Cardiff really stirs the blood as well.
