Leenia, this is the classic Tudor rose which is based on the wild dog rose rather than the better known hybrids and cultivars

"The Roses Match refers to any game of cricket played between Yorkshire County Cricket Club and Lancashire County Cricket Club.

Yorkshire's emblem is the white rose, while Lancashire's is the red rose."

In Catalunya the tradition is that a single rose is given by the gentleman to his partner - and the partner returns the favour with a book.

(What they don't seem to tell you - this is often a pornographic book!!)

I collect St. George and the Dragon. I have a cast iron statue of them that my sister brought me back from Barcelona, where he's also the patron saint, and a lovely Russian laquer pin. Apparently he's a patron saint there too. I usually wear the pin on April 23.

I wonder if the sailer who gave her a blood red rose was Catalonian (sp?). Bet he was a bit pissed of when she have him a buch of herbs instead of the the latest edition of 'Playboy'.

"The posh Bint at Buck House"......??? To what level of puerile disrespect have we sunk on this forum ?

1. Respect needs to earned. The posh bint in question has done nothing to gain it from me.

2. This forum is worldwide, about music and has nothing whatsover to do with showing respect to people who gained their positions by inheriting them from their forbears. Who gained them through murder, theft and oppresion.

3. If you beleive 'posh bint' is particularly puerile or disresctful then you have led a very sheltered life.

4. One of the many spledid things I will be celebrating about my country on St Georges day is the freedom to voice an opinion. Especialy about my 'betters':-)

Anything else?

Cheers
