Perhaps you could enlighten the rest of us, jingl and ana.
Or is it just me?

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 22-Apr-14 10:38:18

Ana Tue 22-Apr-14 10:39:02

Have a look at the very last Smiley on the list, jane!

Soutra Tue 22-Apr-14 10:47:11

Only of course asnothing takes precedence over Easter Week, the feast of St George (in a liturgical context) will be celebrated in the church * next* Monday.

Soutra Tue 22-Apr-14 10:47:48

The Bard's birthday and (allegedly) death day too dragon

annodomini Tue 22-Apr-14 11:12:15

That looks more like a Welsh dragon to me. But then I'm neutral. wink Sad to see the bunnies gone for another year!

Soutra Tue 22-Apr-14 13:18:24

I agree at least another week of bunnies! And for Queen's birthday at least a crown, for Shakespeare's birthday a thespian in doublet and hose!! Come techies - stop eating cake slackng!

Ana Tue 22-Apr-14 13:18:29

It is indeed the dragon we had for St David's Day in 2013! hmm

Soutra Tue 22-Apr-14 13:28:44

So now even dragons are being recycled hmm

annodomini Tue 22-Apr-14 13:48:37

What other symbol could be used for St George's day? Our combined ingenuity and brain power should be able to come up with something for next year!

rosesarered Tue 22-Apr-14 14:02:26

It's certainly a Welsh dragon, do we accept that for the patron saint of England?

Aka Tue 22-Apr-14 14:09:46

Perhaps it was a Welsh dragon he slew/slayed?

rosesarered Tue 22-Apr-14 14:19:25

It was probably a Turkish dragon [ as St George was very likely to have been Turkish!] Dragon kebabs anyone?What are we talking about.......confused I mean, a dragon????? if he slew anything, it was probably a sheep, a fierce one, mind.

We had a daffodil for St David's day this year.

How can you tell he's Welsh?

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 22-Apr-14 16:21:09

The Dragon. Not St David. He probably was.

Ana Tue 22-Apr-14 16:25:26

Don't think we've ever had anything for St George's Day before, have we?
Must be why they gave us the daffodil for St David's Day so they could save the dragon for now...

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 22-Apr-14 17:50:55

I thought we had the Dragon for St George's day last year.

Ana Tue 22-Apr-14 17:56:31

Don't think so. How would we find out? Have to trawl the archives, I suppose...hmm

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 22-Apr-14 18:00:55

I just tried. No good.

I can trust my head these days and that lot at HQ aren't up to chatting at the mo. hmm

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 22-Apr-14 18:01:23

Can't. Not can!

Ana Tue 22-Apr-14 18:06:38

You were right, jingl!
