There is division in the world and within most of the nations in it.

If there are people who are responsible for this division then they are by definition 'dividers'.

'Divide and rule' - as...

As I will leave you to your cliched labeling...

It's not the term per se that I object to, but the simplistic act of labeling people. You know FA about me, yet you seem quite happy to label me.

Annoyed? Not even close, squire...

FFS - yet another label.

I'll humour you, though.

If you want to label me, do so according to the second definition.

You can't get more English than 'John Smith'...

John Smith.

#3? Because he's the only one with an Almanac?

I refuse to compartmentalise myself using only my name.

My first name is of Greek origin, whilst my surname is of Anglo Saxon origin - but so what?

I consider myself to be English, British and...

I agree 100%, although certain people in the EDP seem to think if you haven't got a suitably English surname then you're not really English...

Ooh...the 'name game'.

It's been a while since we've played that here.

Let's see:

James:


(McCaffery would also appear to be an Irish name.)

What a fine figure of a man the chap on the right is!

Yes, it's true that the UK gets fewer statutory public holidays than some countries, but it's how they're taken that is interesting. They seem to 'grow' there.

I can only speak for the UK and...

If St George's Day was made into a public holiday, that would mean that there would be three of them within the space of a month.

So, could the nation afford it?

I had to google 'Metaxa'. So not me, Mr Rob!

St Martin, apparently.

Now there's an enduring image...cassie with a spliff on listening to Burning Spear...

Good call.

I think he was inferring that I might have something against St George.

I haven't - I'm an equal opportunities saint critic.

Why not use his/her first name then?

You seem very keen to do it where Mr Rob is concerned.

If people want to celebrate saints' days, let them - whether it's St George, St Edmund or St Matthias (whose day it is here, apparently). However, why a group of individuals canonised centuries ago...

Saints - the product of religion and thus not to be taken seriously.

None of them.

Better atmosphere?

That very much depends on the pub, its landlord and the customers.

Hmm...then again, he might not like beer.

I love beer, but I'm not too fond of pubs however. I've been in some great ones, but not many and I've been in quite a few due to playing in them for...

I actually went to a St George's Day fete here - run by the ex-pat community with all proceeds to the school in the village where it's held.

But that's really by the bye.

I can think of many...

So, to not wish to celebrate St George is anti-English?

I keep asking who 'Jeremy' is.

So far I've had no reply.

Perhaps cassie should produce a bowel movement or vacate the gazunder.
