Picked up a copy of The Economist magazine ten days or so ago because

It would appear that I am, sadly, past my prime. However, I'll go
with Rod's "Forever Young" and put the magazine away.

Lots of sweeping generalisations in there....here was a really blatant one :

" It may be unfashionable in Britain to stand for the national anthem, but
two minutes watching the Last Night of the Proms, an annual music festival,
on television will serve to dispel any doubts about the ability of certain
sorts of music to instil collective purpose in a group of individuals."

Hmmmm.....not me.....all that flag waving BS makes me cringe.

I can't get through the Last Night without blubbing. But then, I weep
at the end of Lassie movies, so it's not saying much..:-)
