- The younger Promenaders stamp their feet in time to the hornpipe - that is until I whip up the orchestra in a fierce accelerando which leaves behind all those whose stamping technique is not of the very first quality. I like to win by two bars, if possible; but sometimes have to be content with a bar and a half. It is good fun, and I enjoy it as much as they. When it comes to the singing of 'Rule, Britannia!' we reach a climax that only Britons can reach, and I realise I can be nowhere in the world but in my native England.
