Neal 1,930 Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 When I asked my son what they did with regards to it being St Georges Day at his school (he's six) he said they didn't do anything...yet they still always do Chinese New Year etc. Now, I've nothing against the latter but certainly not at the expense of the former. On the way home from school the previous day, when I was telling him a bit about St George and the dragon, he said that his "favourite parts of the UK" in reverse order were "England because of the dragon in the story...Scotland because they've got the Loch Ness Monster...and Wales because they've got their own dragon called Idris." From the mouths of babes. Maybe I should tell him about St Patrick and the snakes too...just to even things up a bit. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
