Re: God Save The King

Yeah, calling on a deity I don't believe in to protect an unelected hereditary ruler does nowt for me.

However, even if you're a god-fearing Monarchist you can still see clear as day it's a crap song to a crap tune, and doesn't reflect England in any way.

The ones at Nissan garage make traffic back up all the way to Princes Way / ASDA in one direction and Tim Bobbin area in the other, knackering both of the Burnley motorway junctions in the process. Quality planning.

I couldn't disagree more.

The current leadership will be all over this, hence why they've apologised already for catering issues in the City fixture.

I expect it to improve, as they will demand perfection from their new catering partners.
