There's a few on here that use a zip on their mouths. :D

I thought it might be as there's a lot of England flags out round here.

Happy St George's day everyone!
Last year some breweries printed free beer tokens so keep an eye out if that's your sort of thing.

Why is it more important? Would say such a thing of Saint Patrick's day? Even though St Patrick was actually English?

Because Shakespeare was English, and a real person, and is famed throughout the world.

St George is semi-mythical, didn't really fight a dragon, and if real, was born in what is now Turkey.

btw, the Catholic Encyclopedia states that St Patrick was born in Scotland... ;)

I'm sure you've just educated lots of Scott's and welshmen. So was St Patrick mythical? Was David mythical? But t St Patrick was born in England.

Umm...no, we're pretty much certain there never was a dragon to begin with.

But you believe St David was born on a cliff top in a violent storm? An whilst preaching the ground he was standing on became a hill under his feet?
