Well said Eddie Smith of Chipping Sodbury
Below is an excerpt of an article in one of today’s papers……………….. If we all had this attitiude the World would be a much better place to live. Thanks Eddie
AFTER the full-scale celebrations that we witnessed both in this country and America on St Patrick’s Day, it’s great to hear that London will be celebrating St George’s Day with a week-long celebration to honour the historical achievements of England and the English.
Apparently, the whole city will be decked out in the red and white cross of St George, including the City Hall, and a series of special events including readings from Shakespeare, real ale tastings and English folk music concerts are to take place during that week.
Now we have a Scottish parliament and a Welsh assembly, the union flag is being used less and less by those countries, and we should also be flying our own country’s flag more and take pride in our heritage and help bring closer together all the different faiths and communities in our area.
I have yet to hear what Bristol City Council has planned to celebrate St George’s Day on April 23. Does anybody know?
