Same to you SLL. We have a none uniform day at our school and all the children are allowed to wear England shirts or red and white. We are celebrating by having a mini football tournament and I'm having pie and mash for lunch.
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountain green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.
Good to hear schools are embracing it! Can't recall my school ever doing anything like that.
Are they London schools or in Kent?
Things like that, wearing red & white, pie & mash, english breakfasts, and maybe even an hour telling kids about some important historical events in English history or famous English people is what's needed. No need to fear them turning into card carrying BNP members or NF activists.
Happy St George's Day to everyone! Everyone who is from this beautiful green isle. Everyone who chooses to live in this welcoming land of hospitality and acceptence. Enjoy it for what it is. A celebration of our Patron Saint. A day to be proud together xxxx
Have a good one to everyone today, gutted about not getting the day off to celebrate, the rest of the office took pity on me & i have a Happy St George's Day card from the girls in the office to cheer me up.
Going to a private Charlton related St Georges Day dinner this evening, all English menu... Caister Kipper Pate or Home Made Cream of Tomato Soup, Steak and Kidney Pudding with leeks, broad beans, carrots and potatoes......Bread and Butter Pudding followed by English Cheeses.Tea or coffee with English Sweetmeats plus Woodforde's Pale Ale & Nelson's Revenge.
My Cross of St George Flag is already on my works van for the day/weekend!
UP THE ADDICKS!
And happy St Georges Day to you all.

I love England and I'm proud to say I'm English but you know what I hate about St George's Day?
People moaning about "PC" and not being able to celebrate it and how terrible that is.
But I guess that is being English as well and it wouldn't be England or St George's Day if we didn't have a moan about something and felt sorry for ourselves.

St George was an Italian.
