Do you live in a cave now then, do you only have candles for light or wash your clothes in the local stream?
I doubt it, why make changes for the sake of the PC brigade?

The PC Brigade? Are they still around?

The reason we don’t live in caves is because we changed, same for candles and clothes.

Which is my point, everything doesn't have to change.

The music kids listen to these days, eh? No melodies, can’t hear the words.

I honestly don't understand your point, sorry. That we've had enough change and can now stop? That some things need to change but not other things?

Making the point that most people don't actually know the words to most, if any, of the "patriotic" songs mentioned....
Not that I personally consider that important.

Sorry mate, everything changes , that's the nature of life, the universe, and everything.
You don't have to like it..
But if you don't accept it you'll be in some trouble .
I'm sure there were plenty of people bellyaching about lohag
As being ridiculous modern tosh.

True the world over. My Australian colleagues in my last job all admitted they'd struggle beyond the first verse of Advance Australia Fair.

I think it might be quite useful to know those words.
If you're going to sing along , or support it.
Otherwise you're just mindlessly endorsing some pretty questionable ideas, and aspirations.
Doesn't seem like a very good idea to me ...
With the new trade deal, they will have to change that to Advance Australia Fayre.

As I think I have posted upthread, I am not a flag waving, jingoistic, anthem singing, nationalist type.
I don't, (sing along, or, endorse it), I just, generally, try to be tolerant enough and none-judgemental enough to leave others to their simple pleasures.

Well that's alright then.
I'm going to sing it, now I do know all the wurds as I go mow* the hilltop field.
Who knows? It might spur me on to expand my farming empire !!
* Simple pleasures also
