@akabula -- your rugby national anthem clip is from 2003. My vague memories of previous decades is that people would stand for the national anthem and not sing it, but I could be wrong. I've got the DVD of the 1966 final somewhere but cannot find it to check.
My guess is that to the 60s players, the 2003 team would look disrespectful with their arms round each other rather than by their sides, standing to attention. |

It's funny how customs change with time.
There was a time when it suited the establishment to drill patriotism into the population. These days globalism suits the establishment, and hey presto! patriotism becomes a dirty word, lol.  |

How can you expect the current crop of Ingerland players to remember the words to the NashAnt? They can't even remember where the opposition's try line is!

Me and my pesky facts eh? Not pesky but definitely incomplete. I mean weren't the 50s and 60s standout years for immigrants coming to the UK? Or maybe did we change how crime was reported and recorded? I know the answers PP and I suspect you do to. |

To be fair baby boomers or those born after the war ie 1946/47/48
would mean a massive increase in teenage population mid to late sixties and is this not when drugs started to take off and the problems that surround them |
