Happy St George's Day!

[Ozymandias]

Yeah,

But Englishness is a state of mind, and IKB never thought of himself as a Frenchman as far as I am aware.

Neither did his father, also a brilliant engineer. I, myself am a half breed (English/Spanish), yet have always classed myself as English. It is a state of mind, yet you could argue that some of the most rabid worshippers of St.George are in the unfortunate situation of not having a mind ....

Forgot about Cook

you've forgotten Cook yet you've included Powell and Roger waters

What about Brunel?, if you've got Newton you have to have Faraday, and then there's Disraeli.

Already had the Brighton & Hove St George's Day Luncheon last Friday. Thousands raised for charity, and a thoroughly pissed up afternoon.

Oh, and St George is also the Patron Saint of Syphilis.

and what a top day out it was too, Bernard Manning was quality which is more than can be said for John Virgo!

I'm not for it. We already get two holidays in May and Easter is normally in April. So, most years we get four holidays in six weeks: yet, we get nothing between August and Christmas.

Let's have a November holiday.

There already is one that is celebrated by more people in this country then St Georges Day. To our great shame it's an immigrant festival, Diwali

Happy St Georges Day,

I hope you are all proud to be English and celebrate by drinking a fine Belgian Beer or Fench wine, whilst sitting on your Swedish furniture, whilst watching American TV shows on your Japanese TV, eating the finest Indian food, whilst wearing your favourite designer Italian labels made in China

Cheers
