Happy St Georges day !

Sorry rather late, I hope all England had a happy St. George's Day

The wild rose of old England. (never mind nasty dragons)

I have just been to a lovely classical concert with several pieces by English composers and the reading of a Shakespeare sonnet. We ended by singing Rule Britannia, four verses of it (I didn't know there were four verses). It was a super evening with wonderful singing but not many of us in the audience.

? ?

Well done jings and Kat
Perhaps some are feeling more European nowadays.
Yes Rosesarered Shakespeare's 400 year anniversary today .
' To be or not to be, That is the question'

Ha! . Kat reads Gransnet on a Saturday afternoon! She's one of us!

Well said JBF Happy St George's day

Well done jingl
Also Shakespeare's birthday ( and death day!)
I expect the Morris Men will be out and about at village pubs today.

Up the English!

And no mention of Shakespeare.....

Are we supposed to be into DIY competitions now? Things aint what they used to be.

(if you can't wait that long!)

They (GNHQ) have obviously given up caring about us.

We will probably be given the usual dragon at about six o'oclock tonight.

Good on Waitrose. Glad to hear that NanaandGrampy- but sadly, many would be embarrassed these days to put the flag at their window or in the garden- because so often those who do, do so in support of NF or EDL.

Perhaps there should be a big campaing for next year's St G's day to reclaim the flag for the people, of all political persuasions or none, all ethnicities, etc.

I sang this song with a choir, as part of a school musical festival

The Waitrose store where I work in the early, early morning, is having a St. George's day lunch for the staff. They have decked out the dining room with the Cross of St. George, large and small flags. Nothing at all to show that it is any other day in the store itself, I wonder why? here are some famous quotes that make me proud to be English.

Not for me it hasn't Granjura

Very sad that the flag has become a symbol of the NF.

Good point.... that would be a nice gesture GNHQ .

Yes, shame on you. Why is St George's day ignored ?

Oops should read 'where is'
