Excelent idea; St George's Day is also reputed by tradition to be Shakespeare's birthday(he was baptised on the 26th; baptism customarily took place on the 3rd day)! It's also a dead cert that he died on April 23, 1616, but hey, we all have to go sometime, and there's no reason to rain on St George's parade!
