Will the host country boo their own national anthem?

Evidently this is a distinct possibility in soccerball when GBR hosts Uruguay at the Millineum Stadium in Cardiff.

tough one for the officials. Requesting that the Welshers keep their mouths shut would certainly have the opposite effect. http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/ohwell.gif

then why is it the anthem of GB? Shouldn't we write a new one explicitly for the whole union, that everyone can sign up to?

I suggest the James Bond theme. Even the Shcottish should be able go with that.

in Edinburgh. There's a good place on/near the South Bridge but very few others. Shame, as the square sausages they do up there made a fascinating variation.

which is just along from the Greyfriars Bobby statue, it's not bad there but it doesn't open till 1100.

I found a good cafe last time I was up there just off the Leith Walk which was handy as it was just a 5 minute walk from the flat I had rented.
