Thumbs up HAPPY ST GEORGE'S DAY!

Did you remember that today (23rd April) is St. George's Day?

I'm going to dig my St. George's flag out of the basement (normally used when the World Cup is on lol!).

I guess I should have fish & chips for dinner tonight....

Definitely getting drunk tonight on a variety of English beers!
Trying to explain St George's Day to some colleagues. My answer to the question "what do you do to celebrate" is "Nothing really".

Tell 'em it's the day we Brits celebrate our independence from the Americans. Watch the look on their faces "say gee, did that really happen?"

I like the traditional celebration of being totally understated in our superiority
