For those who don't know, today is St George's day! :) :D :D

Sadly, while other countries of the British Isles have their special celebratory days marked and enjoyed , especially in England (for example we love St Patrick's Day LOL) St George's Day and flying the English flag was until very recently deemed racist by the pc brigade. (guilt over history probably?)...

Well, as I am not racist and a patriot (not nationalist) I am going to toast you all. Here's to St George's Day!
Cheers to... The Beatles, Queen, Ozzy, Shakespeare, Dickens, James Bond, Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Vaughan Williams, Britten, The Who, The Stones, Lord Byron, The Spice Girls, The English fry up, fish and chips, the dodgy looking royal family :) and Harry Potter to name just a few! CHEERS!XXXX
