cari, since my last plea, you have had a whole year to knit a thistle! A St Andrew's flag would be an acceptable symbol

I loved At Andrew's s day when I was teaching.
We would have a concert, where each class performed a "party piece", with a Scottish theme.
Then we would have a Scottish themed feast. It was a great day. However, the food police may not have been to happy with the fayre supplied. Is IrnBru and Highland toffee healthy.?

I meant to add I was in St Andrew’s House at school and it is my sister’s birthday too.

How fast does the HQ Tech work? We are still waiting for an edit button and a like button. ?

Hear, hear!

But please no repeat of the horrific 'Jimmy' emoji you inflicted on us a few years ago!
Why are techs only starting knitting now when St Andrews day comes round every year? Not a surprise really.

Just to say we are doing our best to make this happen but it depends how fast tech can knit one

This sasanach thinks it's only fair.

I hadn't realised this has not been happening.
Come on GN play fair smile

Yes, good idea! My ex husband is a Scot, and we would always have haggis and neeps on St Andrews, accompanied by Burns’ poem.

Great idea. I once worked in a CofE school where the head gave us all a day off for St Andrews day. The school was in Birmingham!

That would be really good. It was a fabulous day when I was at school.

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!
