Why is it necessary, on almost every occasion recently for the Rugby matches, for the young lady singing the National Anthem, to stand wearing evening dress, usually with nothing on her arms etc in the freezing cold - what difference would it make if she was wearing a wrap, coat, or indeed even a shawl?
Just plain silly!!!
Let's try a different tack; why do we have the embarrassing "Here's a song about where I'm from", charade before evert sporting event?
I love big International games, but songs about the piece of land I was born on are faintly ridiculous. Why would a song tie me into some commnality with people I have never met or shared time with. Nice idea, but sorry.
