Never forget I vow to thee, my country. Played that at my Dad's funeral, find that one hard to listen to now.
In terms of Brexit, for those of us that didn't vote for it the fear is that it turns into a lot of flag waving but without enough substance to justify it. It's one on which I will be delighted to be proven wrong.

Sorry about that Peter. I am aware that it is used as a funeral tune. Sir Winston Church for example.

A sensible approach (and sorry about the other thing). Whatever the outcome, however individuals voted, we should all get much the same result as each other. I think as long as our own courts & MPs stop doing their very best to help the EU, at the expense of the UK, we should do just fine. Also, if we'd have left it much later, when the EU has it's army. And military bases in the UK. Then I think leaving the EU would probably have gone the same way it did for the Confederate states, when they decided to leave what was supposed to be a voluntary union. |

Exciting isn't it. I'm hoping they'd do a countdown in Wetherspoons.
