Some git in the audience is waving a geat big Stars and Stripes and someone else has the flag for, wait for it, Chad
Didn't anyone tell these idiots that this is a uniquely British event, and that we don't want their flags being waved about.[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
WTF are they going to do during the traditional singing of Land Of Hope And Glory? Don't tell me.... wave their stupid flags around? Is nothing sacred any more??[img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

I do. I don't want some asylum seeker type from Chad waving their fookin flag to LOHAG. The more I think about it the more it pi$$es me off.
The same goes for some Yank waving a Stars and Stripes. Bas taste or what

I suppose the only people that should be pissed off are the unfortunate people stuck behind the fat flag waving yank. They'll not be able to see anything and they'll also be up to their knees in Coke cans and McDonalds wrappers

I didn't see the proms but didn't we have a yank conductor? conducting this uniquely British event.
So it looks like our 'uniquely' British event has been taken over by foreigners which is a shame but whats new
Edit...its still on and yep it is a yank

BB - it's on now. And it's rather enjoyable, even with the Yank conductor 
and of course, *those* flags [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
LOL @ Paulr - you'll miss it when the new PC Proms feature only Islamic chanting, and the Royal Albert Hall becomes a mosque

True, Land of H and G would be a better choice IMO. LOL 'Hands in the air' at every podium finish
Funny how all those *other* flags disappeared when it got 'hardcore'.
A top night's entertainment.

hehe.. must admit, I noticed that when they flashed the cameras around to Glasgow *nobody* was singing along So, maybe not a good choice. But, there must be a better tune out there somewhere...UB
