St Andrews Day

30th November is St Andrew's Day. Every year we have emojis for the other patron saints' days - a rose, a leek, a shamrock; but every year I find there is no thistle for us Scots and I post about it on this site, asking for recognition for the many Scots who are members of Gransnet. Please, this year, find us a thistle!

Hello and Happy St Andrew's Day!

Also, huge apologies. Our design/tech teams have been snowed under this week and we haven't managed to make this live on time. blush We PROMISE to have it done for next year though.

Tell you what might work, Lara, get tech started right away, planning to have it ready for Robert Burns birthday (25th Jan) and maybe it will be there in time for next year's St Andrew's Day.

In fairness emojis are hard to programme in.

Izabella nobody just pulled the idea out of the hat with hardly a moment's warning. It's an annual event and the emoji is something we've requested year after year!
To anno and maw from a fellow St Andrean, have a good day and enjoy your memories. 50+ years ago! Hard to believe.

They managed to programme in the shamrock etc, which were not there when Gransnet started, and to put the Santa hats on the ordinary emojis for use at Christmas.
