Do you know....

[The Sock of Poskett]

Yup, but then I'm 55 and use the SUV (Slightly Updated Version) regularly.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

44. Yes

 

[Thunder Bolt]

67 and know the old version and modern English version. St Nicolas Portslade was a CofE school.

 

[Frutos]

Yep, and I'm 31.

Going to an assortment of CofE primary schools and being forced to go to Sunday school and church as a kid have left their mark.

 

[The Birdman]

In my 50s. Yep still word perfect after reciting it many times at home/church/school as a child.

And before each game and all help welcome.

 

[Jimmy Come Lately]

But there are several versions.

Yes, I always trip up on "trespasses" / "those who trespass against us" in England, having been brought up with the Kirk's "debts" / "debtors". I'm still word-perfect on the Scottish version at age 39.

Being reminded of the difference always makes me wonder whether it reveals anything meaningful about the national psyche of each country, that the emblematic sin in England relates to failure to respect land ownership, and the emblematic sin in Scotland relates to owing money.

 

[Triggaaar]

44 know it all. But enough about me...

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Harold be thy name?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Yes, I always trip up on "trespasses" / "those who trespass against us" in England, having been brought up with the Kirk's "debts" / "debtors". I'm still word-perfect on the Scottish version at age 39.

Debts? I remember two versions of it, one referring to trespasses/ trespassers (the common version round these parts I believe), and one referring to sins/ sinners. Debtors is a new one on me!

 

[Reagulls]

I'm 42 remember every word, I think we ended every assembly at primary school with it.
Girlfriend is 27 and remembered all but a few words...

 

[DumLum]

No. 41 years old. Still remember the day I discovered it. I was about 13 years old in assembly when the headmaster said let us say the lords prayer. Everybody including my closest friends recited it and I didn't have a clue what was going on. Strange experience.

Debts? I remember two versions of it, one referring to trespasses/ trespassers (the common version round these parts I believe), and one referring to sins/ sinners. Debtors is a new one on me!

As far as I know the debts & debtors version is the standard Church Of Scotland one. I always thought debts were an odd thing to be asking God to forgive -- and the idea of a Scot forgiving his debtors was obvious nonsense -- although "debtors" does scan rather better than "thosewhotrespassagainstus".

 

[symyjym]

I always mimed it at school so it gets a bit wishy washy at the end.

My Old Lang Syne is pretty crap as well and I only know the first three word in Abide with me.

I bet you remember nearly all the words to Morning Has Broken too.

A reflection of a 1980s education.

 

[Freddie Goodwin.]

I only knew about tree passers until today/ Can my debts be forgiven?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Yep. And the whole of the Latin version as well.

 

[Jimmy Come Lately]

Can my debts be forgiven?

Yes, but only by the LORD, if you pray diligently enough, in Scotland.

If your debts aren't owed to the LORD, I don't think prayer is going to sway Mr Barclays.

 

[brightn'ove]

23, not a ****ing clue.

 

[Soulman]

Yes i know the words.

 

[Phat Baz 68]

Not religious in any way shape or form religion is evil
But yes I know that thing off by heart even when it other bits were added
" for thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever "
wasnt added until sometime in the 70's it's not in the original prayer.
