Apropos of things, I caught the end of our annual patriotic fest
tonight, that is to say The Last Night of the Proms: among things that
caught my attention was that among the Union Jacks and St George's
Flags there were also a-waving Stars and Stripes, Russian Crosses, the
Seven Sisters, a couple of Deutsch ensigns and even a Norwegian
banner. How odd!.
Even weirder the commentator described 'Jerusalem' as being written by
'Sir William Blake' (!!)
