We had shamrocks, didn't we? And I think we had daffodils (can't quite remember)

So, why no Dragon?

Oh, we cancelled that a couple of years ago. Never mind!

rosesarered Fri 24-Apr-15 20:13:51

Yes, it's on Sky like most of the good stuff.

rosequartz Fri 24-Apr-15 20:11:27

I haven't seen that, although DS watches it!
(is it on Sky? That could explain it)

rosesarered Fri 24-Apr-15 20:08:01

And yet there are THREE in Game Of Thrones, explain that!

rosequartz Fri 24-Apr-15 20:06:13

I am trying to patch up the dragon, they are an endangered species wink

rosesarered Fri 24-Apr-15 20:03:59

We ladies may faint clean away Rose!

I was going to post that perhaps it's a picture of the dragon after St George has done his stuff, but thought that could be
(a) too gruesome for some
(b) contentious

I'm not happy with all these red Welsh dragons, coming over 'ere and taking all our green dragons jobs!

Rose of England

Music by Ivor Novello from “Crest of the Wave”
Words by Christopher Hassall

(Ivor Novello was Welsh btw!)

A rose could start a war, Red or White ? White for me.

Anniebach Thu 23-Apr-15 10:12:15

I thought the English emblem was a rose?

NfkDumpling Thu 23-Apr-15 10:09:38

Didn't we have a dragon once before - a little red one - for Wales? Or did I imagine it?

Teetime Thu 23-Apr-15 09:01:29

Indeed happy st Georges day. The golf club have a St Georges day lunch today - I suggested the Roast Beef of Olde England but they have gone for sausages in a big Yorkshire pudding!!

Pittcity Thu 23-Apr-15 08:32:27

I'll raise a cup of tea to England and St George brew

annodomini Thu 23-Apr-15 08:29:01

We didn't have the saltire for St Andrews Day. I am shocked that there's no recognition of St George.
