Hello RADIO JEM, I hope you aren't getting over excited today?

Cyprus Pat..... thanks for the pom poms yet again. You are so good keeping them all safely for each game AND choosing the correct colours too...... clever girl!!

I am not practicing the Welsh Anthem just yet, because I have to sit and read the words and right now I am making mud pies with our little 2 yr old gt nephew while his Mum and Dad sort out their caravan after coming home from a weeks holiday and could do without little ones "help", ha ha. Happy Days! Be back later on though.

When I was looking for Traditional English Songs last night, I found this! ....

THE ROAST BEEF OF OLD ENGLAND

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5lhjYzbfco

:-D :-D :-D

The Lyrics

When mighty Roast Beef was the Englishman's food,
It ennobled our brains and enriched our blood.
Our soldiers were brave and our courtiers were good
Oh! the Roast Beef of old England,
And old English Roast Beef!

But since we have learnt from all-vapouring France
To eat their ragouts as well as to dance,
We're fed up with nothing but vain complaisance
Oh! the Roast Beef of Old England,
And old English Roast Beef!

Our fathers of old were robust, stout, and strong,
And kept open house, with good cheer all day long,
Which made their plump tenants rejoice in this song--
Oh! The Roast Beef of old England,
And old English Roast Beef!

But now we are dwindled to, what shall I name?
A sneaking poor race, half-begotten and tame,
Who sully the honours that once shone in fame.
Oh! the Roast Beef of Old England,
And old English Roast Beef!

When good Queen Elizabeth sat on the throne,
Ere coffee, or tea, or such slip-slops were known,
The world was in terror if e'er she did frown.
Oh! The Roast Beef of old England,
And old English Roast Beef!

In those days, if Fleets did presume on the Main,
They seldom, or never, return'd back again,
As witness, the Vaunting Armada of Spain.
Oh! The Roast Beef of Old England,
And old English Roast Beef!

Oh then we had stomachs to eat and to fight
And when wrongs were cooking to do ourselves right.
But now we're a . . . I could, but goodnight!
Oh! the Roast Beef of Old England,
And old English Roast Beef!
