Happy St Georges day !

Oops should read 'where is'

Yes, shame on you. Why is St George's day ignored ?

Good point.... that would be a nice gesture GNHQ .

Very sad that the flag has become a symbol of the NF.

Not for me it hasn't Granjura

The Waitrose store where I work in the early, early morning, is having a St. George's day lunch for the staff. They have decked out the dining room with the Cross of St. George, large and small flags. Nothing at all to show that it is any other day in the store itself, I wonder why? here are some famous quotes that make me proud to be English.

I sang this song with a choir, as part of a school musical festival

Good on Waitrose. Glad to hear that NanaandGrampy- but sadly, many would be embarrassed these days to put the flag at their window or in the garden- because so often those who do, do so in support of NF or EDL.

Perhaps there should be a big campaing for next year's St G's day to reclaim the flag for the people, of all political persuasions or none, all ethnicities, etc.

They (GNHQ) have obviously given up caring about us.

We will probably be given the usual dragon at about six o'oclock tonight.

(if you can't wait that long!)

And no mention of Shakespeare.....

Are we supposed to be into DIY competitions now? Things aint what they used to be.

Up the English!

Well done jingl
Also Shakespeare's birthday ( and death day!)
I expect the Morris Men will be out and about at village pubs today.

Perhaps some are feeling more European nowadays.

' To be or not to be, That is the question'

? ?

I have just been to a lovely classical concert with several pieces by English composers and the reading of a Shakespeare sonnet. We ended by singing Rule Britannia, four verses of it (I didn't know there were four verses). It was a super evening with wonderful singing but not many of us in the audience.

The wild rose of old England. (never mind nasty dragons)

Sorry rather late, I hope all England had a happy St. George's Day
