 St George`s day
Well i`d like to wish all the folk from my neighbouring country all the best for today and i hope all fairs well for you regardless of current national boundries,
i`d like folk to remember we all are people regardless of what country we come from and that on the outside some of us may appear different but inside we are all made of the same stuff

Nope, seeing as St George was reputed to be Turkish, I'm wearing a fez and drinking this actually!
Courage, chivalry and charity. The qualities of St George.
He's also patron Saint of Russia, Aragon, Asturias and Catalonia (Spain), Ethiopia, Georgia (no surprises there), Greece, Lithuania, Palestine and Portugal. The Bulgarian Army, Beirut, Malta, and the Isle of Gozo (Calypso's island from the Odyssey). And Scouting. And people with syphillis. The fellow certainly got around....

Not being British of any stripe, maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think that any kind of prejudice was meant. I just heard a kilt enthusiast pushing the purchase of another kilt!

Actually, he would have been Greek, as were most inhabitants of that region until the invasion of the Turks during the Middle Ages.
