I only knew it was St Georges day when I logged into Google this morning and noticed the George and dragon logo on there. How bad is that? That I don't even remember our national day!
But what's to be patriotic about lately eh? Headlines like the newspaper article here
For the record (and I got this online!) In Christian hagiographyy Saint George (ca. 275-281 – April 23, 303[2]) was a soldier of Greek-speaking Anatolia in the Roman Empire, venerated as a Christian martyr. Saint George is one of the most venerated saints in the Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental, Orthodox Churches, and the Eastern Catholic Churches.
So there you have it! He's also the saint of loads of other countries too, so its all faith related really and we know how accurate that is.
Why can't we just have a plain honest day that celebrates English culture, our art, our famous people, our buildings and our music instead of this meaningless St George rubbish?
