I'm not talking about the Remembrance Day service stuff here. Everyone stands for those; there's usually veterans there, and no one wants to catch their flinty gaze! :)
This is just everyday national anthem crap. I'm so sick of that damn song! Every day I threaten to go on a killing frenzy unless they change the anthem soon, but to no avail.
