The tempo debate is more of an issue for me with "Oh when the greens..."

Oh, how I long for those days of yore when a rendition would begin five minutes in and still be going 5 or 6 hours after kick off.

It's all gone right quick these days and sounds rubbish. Me and EoM and NG had a two year campaign of singing it properly but the young'uns got too impatient.
