Don't know if this reply will disappoint you, ABCDiamond?!

With his parents both being Scottish, and himself having been born in Scotland, raised in County Down, and his wife being Chinese... Nah, he CAN'T be English...

P.S. Sorry S/Nurse, JTL was only pulling your leg, being a naughty boy. I'll give him a good spanking for ya!

I drank strong lager until 3am then fell into a kebab shop and abused the Turkish staff whilst urinating in the corner.

Can't wait for 24 hour opening hours.

Who gives a shit if he's English or not. St George was an Italian who made a name for himself as a soldier working for the Roman Emperor Diocletian (who later beheaded him, but hey-ho). Another foreign import, like most things in this country.

So, the majority of Australia descends from the native population ... I hadn't realised ...

Of the four national saints of the British Isles only St David was born in the country that he represents.

I dont recall St Georges Day being a big thing back in the UK, apart from having a small mention in a diary.
Here they advertise St Georges Day all over the place!!
