    Never put foot on English or tarn soil either lol. (Nice effort though youuureds ;)) Shared with many other countries n'all.
    Wondered how long it'd take someone to mention it. (It got mentioned on tv this morning, else I wouldn't have had a clue.) Next Monday apparently. And care even less.:)
    And everyday is a schoolday.
    St Patrck - Scottish
    St Andrew - Israel (Or Galilee as it was then.)
    St David. At least he was Welsh. Bless em. :)

    I don't believe everything I read mate. But I looked em up.
    St Patrick came up with this. ?.

    But the most accepted version of events is that the man who was to become St. Patrick was born in what is now Scotland in the late fourth century AD.

    Just reminded me of a leek. We all know that St David rode his donkey into battle and slew the dragon with his humble leek and that's how they embalmed him to honour his achievement.

    Highly regarded in medieval England for slaughtering Muslims in the Holy Land. Still revered in Clacton apparently.

    Who’s saying that then? What people are alluding to in my opinion is the far-right and such are using the Flag of Saint George as a symbol to peddle their racism and untruths and of course the hypocrisy that our Patron Saint isn’t from these shores.

    Unfortunately it’s not just the ‘knuckle-draggers’ Politicians etc peddle their racism and the same rubbish, the Knuckle-draggers are just their foot soldiers ( Tommy what’s his name anybody) Patriotism can mean different things to different people. Take Royalists and anti-Royalists for example who are both proud to be British but disagree on the Royal family.
