Happy st. georges day, What is it? anyone know? i thought it was a abad thing 'cos it's in one of those adrian mole books and I thought it was some not brillent thing (please treat this as ignornance, not an insult!). Thats explains the roses, I wondered what they wore.

You know how you guys have St Patricks day? Well, St Georges day our version. It is the day of our patron saint, George. Or as he's known to his friends, Spikey.
He's the guy that fought the dragon, i think. Or is that just the kiddie version?

Me too Sandra.
I just wish we were as lucky as the Irish ( with their St Patrick's day ) to be able to celebrate without being vilified.

Hey, I didn't mean you Lizzy when I said villify.
I was meaning all these people who seem to think showing the red cross of St George is racist in some way.

Well, once I got my bum into gear and got my flag pole I will fly my St Georges Flag each and every day of the year. |
