A safe and happy St. George's day to all. Mine is the only unfurled flag in the avenue. Poetically, I live at the top of the road.

As an example of a person who defended his beliefs, helped the poor and stood up for what he thought was right, his reputation spread widely.

History is far more than a sound bite ......

Well I don't care what anyone says. I am English and proud of it, just a pity that this thread isn't full of us English folk celebrating our day.
