That's good news. I've had the later and it's blooming painful, hopefully you won't be off your feet too long.

Odd though that England Teams choose them as their anthem though in many sports or representative teams such as in the Commonweatlth Games
“in a few others another patriotic song might be used (such as “Jerusalem”) or “Land of Hope and Glory”, which is used by many sporting teams representing England or local teams within England. Because it is often associated with English sporting teams, “Land of Hope and Glory” often is a popular choice for consideration of an English anthem.”

The idea of singing an anthem before a sporting event was invented by the Welsh as a response to the New Zealand Rugby team's Haka in 1905 in Cardiff.
A song had become very popular around that time, "Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau" (Land Of My Fathers)
Gradually, over the years ahead this song replaced what was the recognised Welsh National Anthem "God Bless The Prince Of Wales". This has never been made official, because there never was an established way to do this.
Other countries copied this Welsh idea.
The 1924 Olympics was the first one that had anthems played at the medal giving ceremonies.
The first FA Cup final to have "Abide With Me" sung at the start was 1927. Guess who lifted the Cup?

Unfortunately I'm a self employed gardener and, if I don't work, I don't get paid.
The irony is that I've done precious little over the last few months as it's been raining so much.
Now, just when the weather turns a corner and grass is growing at a pace, I do this!

my lad, who was born in England with a Scottish mother and father, identifies as being English. Now that really does irritate me.

Not really.
The doctor said give it a week of rest, see how it is and then maybe book me in for an MRI scan.
As I can still drive, the doctor thinks it's only minor damage.
At least she confirmed that it wasn't a DVT!

I had accupuncture with some electro therapy on my ruptured achilles. Had it back to normal after 2 visits.
