Re: Happy Saint Georges Day
For Engeeeerland and St Goerge, I'll be raising a glass tonight, don't drink before 6pm
As for a new saint anybody really, except St. Gordon, will do

Re: Happy Saint Georges Day
Happy St George Day to one and all. Had a good day at work today. Organised a St George's day at work were we all dressed up in red and white, had a traditional English lunch, quiz about all things English, played music by English bands and groups. Plus a few other things but at the moment can't think, but i know we did. Brilliant to see so many join in, must have been at least 80% in red and white. So a good day had by all.
