For mentioning this,...   nobody else did....,   don't want to said like a Nationalist or anything,....    but, did everyone have a nice St Georges Day yesterday. 

[Doctor Gollum]

Be fair to say some beer and vodka was consumed to mark the occasion 

[Bigron]

OUR day almost slipped by unnoticed! Why is it that WE celebrate the welsh, the scotch and the irish national days but not our own?
Could it be that we KNOW that we are superior and have no need to bolster our egos in that way?

Ron.

[Lincs Robert]

Yes thanks

[Lizzie Zoom]

A lovely quite day, but really just another Sunday!

[Colin G]

See Labour are proposing 4 new bank holidays to celebrate all 4 patron saints - mind they'll probably cancel Christmas and Easter to satisfy the pc brigade

Can't we have the whole of Ramadan off as well please Jezza?

Always celebrate St George slaying the mother-in-law! On Saturday went to my local club's St George's dinner dance. Excellent roast beef meal with 1/2 a bottle of wine and a few beers afterwards while enjoying the music and dancing.

Yep ! That's it you've got it in one 

But aside from the PC brigade wanting to ban anything "English", I was think about the general dare I say "branding" of St Georges day.


Scotland - Kilts, Haggis, Whisky, Thistle

Wales - Leeks, Dafodills, singing, Dragon

Ireland - Guiness, Shamrocks, Leprechauns

England - I dunno, suggestions please

Mister Rog, I don't think we need to have food, flowers or whatever associated with us - just our quiet superiority will do it.
However, I will respect your question and try to answer it.
Food would be fish and chips, obviously.
Engineering excellence and creativity - but how would you tokenise them?
We gave the world democracy; no need to celebrate that, it speaks for itself.
We don't need a national dress, we aren't puppets!
Drink? Real ale or cider?

Ron.

With the bells ringing in the background of course 

[Bigron]

Rumpel, you jumped in whilst I was answering, but I like your suggestions! 

Ron.

[TheBoy]

However, I will respect your question and try to answer it.
Food would be fish and chips Chiken Tikka Masala, obviously.
Engineering excellence and creativity - buggered by piss poor implementation and penny pinching
Drink? Real ale or cider? Chilled fizzy beer, Export, minimum 6%

Fixed for the modern world

[Migv6 le Frog Fan]

I thought it was the Greeks who gave the world democracy ?
