! This post hasn't been updated in over a year. A lot can change in a year including my opinion and the amount of naughty words I use. There's a good chance that there's something in what's written below that someone will find objectionable. That's fine, if I tried to please everybody all of the time then I'd be a Lib Dem (remember them?) and I'm certainly not one of those. The point is, I'm not the kind of person to try and alter history in case I said something in the past that someone can use against me in the future but just remember that the person I was then isn't the person I am now nor the person I'll be in a year's time.
Happy St Georges Day

And a Happy St George’s Day to you!!!
Thought it might warm your heart to know that I have just returned home from a St George’s Day celebration right here in Auckland City.
I am a member of a Morris Dancing side (sorry) and we were greeted with wild enthusiasm and took the chance to tell interested passersby that we represented English culture and pride. No one objected, in fact they were very keen to know more.
We were also geeted with what I can only describe as affection by many English backpackers and ex-pats who were delighted to see us.
Does this meen that you have to be somewhere else to suddenly see that your ENGLISHNESS is worthwhile?
Who cares really, the main point is that some of us are keeping the faith.
Bless you all and bless St George and England!
Love and blessings from Trish
Thanks! Glad to hear you’re spreading some culture to the kiwi’s. I’ve got a video of some local morris dancers on youtube – look at the video’s for wonkotsane69.
i wonder why…….
one of the breweries does a big promo a la guiness, with an english beer?
Taylors Landlord, no Draught cask Bass, that would rock
My brothers got a country pub and he usually does something for St Georges day (or at least the nearest sunday or bank holiday to it). There’s a local group of morris dancers and they do loads of stuff for the kids too. I went a couple of years back and it was great fun. I had a chat with a couple of the morris men who explained what the dancing was all about – I didn’t realise how complex it is or how many different types and traditions there are
It’s a real shame that hardly anyone seems to bother.
Just a wee snippet from Suffolk … Suffolk Constabulary were flying the St George’s Cross to-day !
Thats a weel done to the Suffolk Polis
