Thread Name: All the Best for St Georges Day
Subject: All the Best for St George,s Day
Just to remind every one that today is St George's day.
For me this is a time to celebrate English culture, which despite the constant propaganda from the media is as unique and powerful as any body else's.
I will be wearing traditional English dress; trousers a shirt a jacket, shoes and socks. Remember that the Colonials in the new world still ware English native dress although they probable don't know it.
And of cause we celebrate the English Language, which has the largest vocabulary of any language that has ever existed, and will soon unite the World in common speech.

Whan that Aprille with his shoures sote
The droghte of Marche hath perced to the rote
And bathed every veyne in swich licour
Of which virtu engendred is the flour
   
All the best PP
