England!

Happy St Georges Day to all you English people. I really felt ashamed that I didn't know much about the Patron Saint of England so I made it my mission to find out some more.
1. St Georges flag is the English Flag.
2. St George was a Roman soldier.
3. But he protested against torturing Christians and then they killed him.
4. He was born in Turkey...hmm..makes sense to have a Turk as the Saint of England...
5. He was brave.
6. We share him with a load of other countries, but they celebrate on different days.
7. He may or may not have slayed a dragon. (which spat poison)
8. He may or may not have rescued a princess by slaying aforementioned dragon.
9. This all happened in Egypt.
10. He killed the dragon by piercing it's wing. It died instantly.

England is famous for a lot of things. Some we are proud of. others not so much.
Tea. The Queen. Fish and Chips. Big Ben. Red buses and phone boxes. Black taxis. The Beatles. Castles. Shakespeare. Rain. English breakfasts. Pubs. Stonehenge. Robin Hood. Cheese. Spice Girls. Beckham. I think it's quite obvious to see the divide between pride and shame.

So, today I am going to celebrate our Roman Soldier, Turkish Saint, who may have killed a dragon, in Egypt. Go England!
