I hope you had a happy St Georges Day

I would just like to wish all you people out there a very happy St Georges Day. He is the Patron Saint of England. (Along with a few other places)

The Scots Welsh and Irish have their own Saints and tend to appreciate them more than we do so I'm just waving our flag a little.

The story goes that he was born in Turkey became a Roman Soldier and at some point refused to slaughter a few christians because he was one himself. For that he was executed and like all good sob stories we - or the church - adopted him.

Either way its a reason to smile,wave a flag and maybe have a drink.

Enjioy your day.

We also have a tendency to drive a foreign car, drink Australian beer in an Irish pub, grab an Indian curry or a Turkish kebab on the way home, where we sit on Swedish furniture and watch American shows on a Japanese TV.
