Re: april 23 St george day
Is kind of a shame - but if you read deeper into the above comment I was thinking that when I was back in Leicester (my hometown) for things like the world cup / St Georges day etc the only people around the area that used to paint their faces / houses / cars with the red and white cross were the ones who would no sooner go and beat up someone who wasn't "English".
Quite sad and stupid really that Bazzz is right (not that thats its sad OR stupid for Bazzz to be right) the whole celebration seems to have become more a show political or personal issues rather than the reason it should be (not that I know why it should be anymore either!!!

Re: april 23 St george day
Mmmm point taken CP but I suppose I should have said that it was from my experience being dragged up on a completely racist council estate - first husband was an intolerant of anyone tosser who thought he knew it all.
I suppose that was half the reason I left him and the estate as I couldn't stand the small minded world of some people. (Aside from the fact he was a tw@t)

Must admit i am very lucky where we are very closeted here
I suppose because im am not racist i just can't understand the attitude towards them,
