They, along with the Welsh, certainly know how to sing..

Been in a pub, drinking draught Guinness, listening to seanchaithe tales, and singing rebel songs!

Totally banjaxed now - going to put my Shamrock in a glass of water - then heading to bed! 

Good night, God Bless,

[Scrumpy]

Good for you.. Sounds wonderful..

It's to be hoped that the English don't fall into the trap of celebrating St George's Day & flying our flag, which is regarded with as much affection as the KKK flags.

I just read in the Express that a shop owner in Londonistan has been told to remove a Union Flag from the front of his shop.
It has begun.

It has begun.

What reading the Express?
It's a slippery slope. It'll be the Mail next. Then onto the hardcore such as the Sun. Never sink to the Sport though. There is no cure for that.

The only newspaper I regularly read is the only one which reports news in any competent and unbiased fashion.

The Express is one which seems to appear in my newsfeed (probably because I once read it), so I have a quick look at the matters mentioned in case there is something worth reading.  Even so, I am fully aware that the reports will be unprofessional and often inaccurate.

Several people here fly St Georges flag, and the Yorkshire flag on 1st August.  I always fly my triclour on St Patricks Day and, so far, there have been no objections.

I'd be a bit nervous to raise the English flag on my house because I have quite a few ' foreign' young men living nearby. I don't know where they came from or who they are, better safe than sorry.

[Scrumpy]

How bloody sad is that...

Indeed it is!

I have a flagpole in the back. It was at the caravan and I brought it back home. It flies either the Union or England flag most of the time. I have a different one which flies in November for Armistice.

I think flags are fun.   There is a house down the road that flies a "Welcome Santa" flag each Christmas, and the local pet shop flies the "Skull and Crossbones" on Hallowe'en.
