Subject: RE: St Georges Day
He was born in Turkey this proud Englishman
There is an awful lot of proud Englishmen born in Turkey, MC. And in Poland. And in Bangladesh. And in China. And in... Need I go on? :-D It's what make me proud to be English anyway. Now, if the whole national demographic was white anglo saxon protestant I would start to worry!
Anyone any ideas who's national Saints were born elsewhere BTW? Starting with the UK and Ireland only Wales can boast a home grown Saint! Is 25% pretty common worldwide?
Anyway - Happy St Georges day all. I shall hang the flag out of the window later while enjoying some Polish sausage on Irish soda bread washed down with Scotch whisky:-) A typical English repast indeed.
Cheers
Dave (1/4 English, 1/4 Polish, 1/4 Russian and the remaining 1/4 comprising Welsh, Irish and heaven only knows what else!)
