Lloyd George.

Welsh

St George was Greek and is famous for fighting Dragons which never even existed.

Even Ethiopia claims him as a patron just like we do.

If we're into having meaningless days celebrating fictional histories, lets at least have an English one.

Harry Potter day perhaps?

Replace it with National NHS day

George Washington was English.

George Michael was actually called Georgios.

George Orwell actually called Eric Blair.

There aren't that many famous English Georges outside of royalty.

Washington's ancestors were English, he wasn't born in England but considered naturalised through colonies.

Not deliberately doing it, lol. But actually checked this time and he was born in Manchester. Unless youre thinking of the Welsh Lloyd George.

Just do St Patrick's day like everyone else.

King's subject though being born in the colonies.

If Gina Miller is British then so was he.

John2's Saint George is probably Soros.

I'm thinking of David Lloyd George, born in Manchester and Prime Minister of Great Britain who was and celebrated being Welsh.

[John2]

what's that phrase I'm looking for?

hmmm....let me think

ah yes hook, line and sinker

far too easy.

Fair play grist, you got me there, made me chuckle anyway!

Unfortunately don't think brin has that same excuse.
