A tedious pedant writes:  actually, God Save the Queen is NOT the National
Anthem of
Great Britain - it's actually the anthem of the United Kingdom.  Great
Britain (or the British Isles) includes Eire (Southern Ireland) which has a
tune all of its own (not to mention a parliament, constitution etc) - the
UK, on the other hand, comprises England, Wales, Scotland (for the moment
anyway) and Northern Ireland.  Don't worry, it's a very common error!

Yours factually (and extremely boringly)

Alec (an Englishman and definitely NOT a European)
