My Dad married my Mom and left for WWII at age 17 before pearl. He was a B-29 tail gunner and he returned and here I am. The people who lived through WWII were the greatest generation.Their crourage was amazing. And God saw them through it all. May America and England be great again! Our world is in great pearl today.
A song that reminds me of my parents generation and the battles they endured..purity in the heart of darkness... a beautiful song and I can't think of many that capture the heart and soul of the besieged like this...... absolute magic
The song, along with other ones were indeed considered to be morale boosting during the dark days of the war by people from all of the four countries, including Scotland. They absolutely relished the effect that this and other songs had upon them. I broached the subject today with a 90 year old Glaswegian Royal Marine who fought on the Normandy beaches and he said that he and all of his colleagues thought all of the songs by Vera Lynn gave them the impetus to win and get home quicker.
Error? I think not Sir! "there will always be an England" was never considered a second national anthem by British troops (including Scots Welsh and Irish), perhaps English troops and yes they are indeed British , however you should not use the collective term in this context. I would even go so far to say that most non English British people wouldn't even consider God Bless the Queen their national anthem, myself included. As for the "meaning of British ", well thats a matter of contention.
We are getting desperate if you need to compare the size of your penis with other people. No doubt you could always have an operation to enlarge it if it worries you that much. I have no need or inclination to bask in any bile, I shall leave that to you whilst I relish my title of whipper snapper rather than the one that befits you of overgrown windbag. However, nothing that is commented on here can detract from your initial error regarding the meaning of British.
Poor incompitent fool, you can't even string a sentence together without tripping over yourself. Although it does sound like you enjoy basking in your own bile. Three companies indeed, will we get out the ruler next and compare penis size? Beginning to think you are but a whipper snapper.
Well if you are bored then you obviously have seen the error of your ways. I don't appear to have Alzheimers although one can never certain of anything in this world. If I have succumbed to this unfortunate condition then no doubt the people I employ in my three companies will let me know, as will my family. As for anything else, that can be cured, unfortunately for you idiocy cannot.
If I am a supposed misguided dimwit then you obviously are showing yourself to be a prize prat.
Irrespective of which previous comment you were referring to the term British still and always has referred to the indigenous population of the four nations. For someone that purports to originate from one of the four countries then you should have known better. I try not to make galling assumptions but in your case I shall make an exception and as you were in error I rest my case.
If you feel my tone was patronising then so be it. You will not get an apology from me on something that you should have made quite clear in the first place if you were indeed referring to something else. The inference was quite irrefutable and my comment still stands. I do not intend to continue to discuss the matter as I have other things to do.
@ageingted Well I can conclude irrefutably that you are a misguided dimwit. I do wish that you would keep to your "other things to do" and not impose your galling assumptions on rational members of the public.
My sole contribution was in response to a comment made by nctaikodrumboy that "there will always be an England" bolstered BRITISH troops. I being Scottish remarked, "Does this include the Scots, Welsh and Irish?". I trust now you will remove your ramblings to hide your shameful conduct.
@ADiscipleOfLife Perhaps if you had listened at school you might have found out that British means everyone from all four countries. It is always a good idea to engage 'Brain' before opening 'mouth'.
@ageingted I don't think you quite understood my comment was a reply to a previous comment. Also I don't appreciate your patronising tone. So maybe you should engage your eyes before engaging your brain and hence engage in proper discussion. I suggest you read the comments once again. I await your apology.
This song, along with "There'll Always Be An England," became an unofficial second national anthem to bolster British spirits during the dark days of World War II. "The White Cliffs of Dover," though equally popular, did not quite attain the same status as the other two.

So cowardly an act it is, persistantly attacking a man of straw.

Does this include the Scots, Welsh and Irish?
