I received a video via a group watsapp earlier of Churchill, lions, spitfires, poppies and bulldogs. This was from a grown adult. If I had the technical expertise I'd have sent one back of queues, carry on films, pork pies and They post amongst us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in Crawley Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I don't! As I say I'm draping myself in a st George's Cross as we speak to join in with the Stella drinking and windmilling at the police like a true Englishman. Celebrating what's best about our country.

royal white Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 I drove through town earlier and there were quite a few out with their St George flags, not a copper is sight. It’s probably the theme up and down the country. It must just be those cockney wide boys/girls causing a bit of bovva. Kind of expect it from them.

It's a load of people from the home counties I'd bet, saying London's gone to the dogs but their parents left the area long ago. I'm all for people if they want to have a knees up if they want to, culturally it's not a massive part of our calendar as a country, not sure it's ever been - but this hijacking of it to cause a bit of aggro isn't what I'd associate with being English. Give me a last night of the Proms or Rochester Sweeps Festival and I'm there. Sorry - here's the link:https://www.visitmedway.org/events/rochester-sweeps-festival-2024-79679/ been there a few years and its always good (they do have an odd bit of fortune telling though!)

True, he was a Roman and the whole Dragon bullshit was made up about 500 years later. Why the fuck grown men wear chainmail like crusaders is beyond me.

Which makes it all the more mystifying why anyone remotely links him to being an English saint Maybe not modern day Turkey by name but as land mass You could argue it was Greece but good luck with that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
