St George's Day

Apparently he is the patron saint of a few places which I never new. In fact I know little to nothing about St George. My guess is that most people don't.

I do know about the flag. The English flag. St George's cross.






It actually elicits a physical response from me, and not a positive one. A little feeling of dread. I can't help it. In my head I know it is just the flag of England. But the numpties who have commandeered it as their own have succeeded (in my case) in creating a negativity around it.
I was talking to a friend a couple  of months ago about how twerps have made it unpopular to fly the flag and celebrate St George's day. That we should claim it back and celebrate it as it was meant.
I agree. Maybe next year we should Issue St George's day as a 'claiming it back day'!
Maybe next year I'll fly the flag (I doubt it though).
