Since sports teams have been brought up lets look at Cricket. No National Anthems at Test matches (unless the Queen is making her annual visit to Lords) but the England Team have Jerusalem blaring out as the teams take the field. It actually gets most of the crowd up on their feet and singing it and at least one Test Cricketer has admitted he found it intimidating!. Scotland and Ireland have their own cricket teams but England has first shout on their players so shouldn't the England team be the UK team? Tin hat on awaiting incoming!
ps Didn't the Americans fly the Union Flag upside down recently during Camerons visit?
