The AB Gremlin aka Ed.

Does me too Tilly.

[Baldric]

Peeling Onions does it for me!

[cupid04]

Paying bills does it for me.

having to talk to the wife starts me off!!

Not that screeched version - and the National Anthem was even worse.

Me too, it was included in my mothers funeral service, she loved this hymn

[bibblebub]

that dreary song is just one of many things that requires use of the mute button as soon as possible

[Tilly2]

I think it's better sung without a lead singer. Sniff, sniff.

I think it's better sung without a lead singer. Sniff, sniff.

Absolutely. It is always a poignant time for me because it was the only song my stepdad would sing, he enjoyed it so much.
Having a 'star' take the lead just doesn't seem right, it should be the crowd and only the crowd.

What about without any singers? I think this Grimethorpe Colliery Band version is lovely.
