    St George is believed to have been a Roman officer of Cappadocian Greek descent who died on 23rd April 303 (info from wiki).
    The dragon slaying story came in about 700 years after his death.
    He is also the patron saint of Moscow, Ukraine, and Ethiopia.
    Isn’t it nice that the English celebrate a Mediterranean man on this day?

    It's not what you've written it's the fact that you felt the need to write it at all.

    Well this  thread is going well so far.

    What a surprise, every year, the same crappy bickering.

    Happy St Georges day to those that celebrate it in a positive spirit.

    To hell with those who use it to promote division.

    You have lost me.
    People write comments on message boards, if you have a problem what I have written that is your issue not mine.
    I wrote nothing personal, I have not sworn or been insulting, and as far as I could manage what I wrote is true.
