Well I've just been up to Glasgow for the day sporting my St George Cross tie.
One person commented on it at the airport this morning. Said I was very brave.
Several people, including the taxi driver in Glasgow asked why I was wearing it.
Everybody on the training course I was lecturing at (all Scots) said that I was either brave or stupid wearing it in Scotland.
But most shocking, was at Glasgow airport this evening, when trying to get a meal, I was asked if I would remove my tie before sitting down.
Obviously I refused, and thankfully I still got fed.

:shock: :shock: :shock:
That makes me ashamed to be Scottish! redface
However, why didn't I know you were up here... we could have fed you! :rascal:
Happy St George's Day! kiss
But you might of wanted him to remove more than just his tie! cool

Ok, so does ANYONE know why a chap from ancient Turkey, who never, not once in his life, visited western Europe, let alone crossed the channel to the UK, got to be OUR patron saint. OK he got martyred for his faith - but then so did thousands of others.
Wiki doesn't mention why. Does anyone know?
Oh and I'll join the St Edmund for England campaign whenever it starts. Yay Eddie. :thumbup:
(OMG images of Blackadder springing unbidden to mind. :gigglesmile

The banner that stood in defence of England at Battle was a dragon. Later a staint who killed a dragon (St George) was chosen by the successors of William. It was a way to remind the English they were occupied.
We should have burned the red cross when we chopped Charlie's head of.
