St George's Day

It was pretty noisy on and around the Mersey earlier today. Between 13:00 and 15:00 all the ships and ferries going passed were sounding their hooters like crazy - plus the nearby churchbells were ringing away.

This was all in aid of St George's Day - at least somebody is celebrating the event. Now why aren't we allowed a day off work for this?

Mind you, looking up St George on Wikipedia shows that he's a bit of a patron Saint ho - being the patron Saint of everywhere-else too.

Apparently Moscow has more statues of him than any other city.

Perhaps we should go back to St Edmund?
