Happy St George's Day

[Regardless]

Statistics show, very clearly, that most english people dont know when St Georges day is and care even less.

Thickos!

Good old St George.
Born in modern day Turkey, died in what is now Israel, not English and never visited England.
Strange choice for a national icon, but happy St Georges Day!!

Strangely Shakespeare also died on St Georges day.

My daughter was born on St. George's day.

Got to admit it did make me laugh when this policy was announced and all the Daily Mail brigade went from "it should be a national holiday" to "how dare Corbyn stop us from working, the commie b******" 😁

Anyway Happy St George's day to those who celebrate it.

The strange thing is that for some bizarre reason English people get more excited about St Patricks day than St Georges day !!! ( Not Me !! )

The problem is, if you display the flag of St George these days then there is every chance that you will be accused of being racist........

Yet they all seem to know and care more about St Patrick's night.

There’s only one St. George in our house...

 

[Nobber]

I have a cup with PNE written on one side and cross of St George on the other - but the cross has been removed by countless years of dishwashing. Drink from it nearly every day - and ALWAYS my first cup of tea on a matchday.

Aah so it’s your fault.

Ditch the cup you bloody jinx.

Was Shakespeare real?

Yeah, but he was Turkish and never actually visited England.

How did he seranade Juliet if he only spoke basic English-clever bloke.
At least st Patrick went on his holidays to Ireland and killed all the snakes.😉

My favourite PNE flag is the cross of St George with the Union Jack in the top left corner. Preston North End across it. Gets me every time, there must be something wrong with me.

That’d be a White Ensign.

Emily Thornberry perhaps?
