Vivienne, Its my daughter's birthday too, my friend a big fan of Shakespeare, was so excited that Gaynor was born on his birthday. So we always toast Gaynor, William Shakespeare and St Georges Day. June xx |

OK David, if you want to be pedantic, there is a certain birthday coming up pretty soon that is probably way off the mark but it doesn't stop millions of people celebrating it every year. Vivienne |

I think it's all a load of hooey. We've never celebrated St George's Day have we? Why start just cos we feel we're missing out? Linen Lady - sorry to be pedantic but no-one knows when Shakespeare's birthday was - it's just a guess based on his baptism date:) |

I proudly fly my English flag on appropriate occasions, but I must confess that I do not remember when St George's Day is. I have to be reminded about birthdays too, so it's not a lack of pariotism. |

Above words from the BLACK new Archbishop of York. Says that English are embarassed to do that. He said we should celebrate St Georges day to rediscover our true national identity. Isn,t it marvellous that no english politician feels able to stand up and say what 90% of us feel. Takes a churchman to do it. Suppose they are all frightened to be accused of being national front sympathisers. All rather sad in my opinion., as is the nearly ban on flying St Geos flag Happy days |
