Happy St George’s day

still recovering from the festivities of St Stephen Lawrence day....

Indeed lead on

Happy St Georges Day Jimnast, unreal that it should pass with hardly a mention, a real shame ...

Shame is what we are supposed to feel these days, I think.

It’s more than a shame workrider

I will along with a few friends will be celebrating today and tomorrow.

Jimnast good man its only right and proper you should...

Just had a nice stroll around where I live, Petts Wood, apart from mine only one flag out, Sunderland fan at WBA in full outfit, wonderful

Jmnast

Will you be waving a flag in Berkshire in June hope you enjoyed  Cheltenham  pal of mine had a winner on the first day 25/1 to 14/1 and before you ask i did not have a penny on.

Ronnie.

Ronnie thanks for the pass had a reasonable day the first day but never backed a winner on the Thurs , same at Bath on Fri had to sit cap in hand outside Morrisson's on Sat morning it was that bad...

I will indeed Ronnie and one of the days in full outfit like the Sunderland fan deptford mentions wonderful indeed.

Jimnast

Always try to help no is the answer.

Ronnie.

Cheers Ronnie I spoke to joe yesterday and if you are York Musidora day he will introduce us and I will buy you a drink.

Regarding St George’s day 12 of us started having a proper afternoon celebrating it back in 1999 we agreed then nobody else could join if the day falls on a Sunday we celebrate Monday ,sadly there are now only 7 of the original 12 left and tomorrow will be the first time we raise a glass to the king.

One of my neighbours and his pals get dressed up as knights of the Crusades and go round the few pubs left in Dewsbury every Georges day. I don't know anyone else who bothers at all.

Jimnast
Will be down for 3 days stop at the queens on the river stopped there since it opened people say to me why do you stop down  when you can be back in Darlo in 24 mins. i say to them  would you rush back to Darlo. love to meet up at the races or a night in a great city. Tell Joe he still owes me a good bottle of wine for my services a few years ago.

Ronnie.

Jimnast

tell joe  the toon fans are singing we want 10.

saddo

when it falls on a sunday there is a very well attended parade in manchester the council wont allow on other days.

Foxy

i see the firm Lewis are selling there shops to Boyles .

Ronnie.

Thank you for the reminder jimnast. Would have just passed me by otherwise. Good excuse for nifty one tonight.

We did not get to Cheltenham last week, bit of a blow having paid the hotel etc. Nothing a winner or two wont sort out though.

Sorry you could not get to Cheltenham in the week barstool I can assure you finding winners was near on impossible,tonight when you have nifty one you can reflect on how lucky you were to be born an Englishman.

Certainly will.

I will add. Born at the right time too.  Missed the 2nd world war and hopefully the 3rd.

deptford , daylight or sovereign of the seas ?

Sov, not as often as I used to go, you live here?

Over the past few days - My local newspaper has carried stories withthe following H4eadines ...


'Museum celebrates Eid-al-Fitr with family fun day'

'Have fun celebrating Eid at Museum this weekend'

'Eid-al-Fitr announcements made to mark end of Ramadan'

'What do Eid al-Fitr celebrations look like for Muslims around the world'


- and this beauty ...

'7 Things you SHOULD know about EID'


(WHY do I NEED to know anything ?)


NOT One mention of - ST GEORGE'S DAY, though.

Mind you ... Looking at the list of Candidates for the forthcoming Council Elections ...

They have already taken over.

Good point onlooker, Tesco are doing Eid ads but nowt for George. TV presenters revel in local festivals and celebrations on holiday programmes and travel documentaries, but our own saints day is seen as bad taste.

Hope you kept the cut out of how to make an Eid Lantern for next year onlooker.

Really is sad to read those posts, surely its time the English showed that bull dog spirit ye are famous for, and stood up for your rights to simply enjoy been English...

We are not allowed to workrider. That is the point we are making. Woke rules (for now)

Good morning onlooker hope your well

Not just your local newspaper but I would say many local newspapers will have acted in the same way how on earth have we ended up like this

used to deptford but moved further out 2 years ago , i was a regular at the sovereign

Well barstool you'll just have to undone what they have done and make your point , it really is a shame what has happened to a wonderful Country. I was in the Cotswolds last week and its beauty simply blew me away , don't let them ruin it ...
