St David's day is the national day of Wales. Thanks for your help, you will help my son to sleep tonight, but maybe not really.
Thomas says thanks

Just in case you're confused, St David is the patron saint of Wales (like St George is the patron saint of England)

Well it was I guess as I just copied and pasted for rjd2709 but currently Expert Flyer says G-VROY.
BTW: I thought G-VROM was Richard's private plane

OK. After rereading your post I think I missed the joke. I want to get it. Help!
DragonLady: St. George is also the patron saint of the Boy Scouts (useless knowledge from my younger years).

I celebrate St George's day, although I have to admit there are not many of us. St Pat seems to get more frivolity in England now days (Thanks to Guinness - Oh the power of marketing).
And you are right about the scouts - as a boy we had to parade in Castle Square on St George's day.

Certainly is Airbus.All those lovely little children dressing up in Welsh costumes-Don't know if they will today though as there's a fair bit of snow on the ground and teenage daughter is trying to ascertain if the school is open (they usually get closed).Her Eisteddfod is on Friday incidentally (why not on St David's day i don't know).
Didn't know about St George being the patron saint of the scouts though-happy memories of being a brownie though..

Probably best not to completely clear that one up in a family-friendly forum

Let's just say that popular commentary would have people believe that the Welsh are...ummm....close to their sheep [:I]

Oh I celebrate St George's Day too mate [y] It's just a shame that the PC brigade are most vocal then too - a world gone mad when St Patrick's Day is celebrated so widely (and I have to say, even with Irish forebears, I avoid any such celebrations like the plague), but Councils can't fly the Cross of St George outside their buildings on St George's Day for risk of "causing offence". Make St George's Day a public holiday in England already! [}:)]
Cheers

WHY WHY WHY do the ENGLISH ( often mis- informed RACE) insist that us Welshies are close to our sheep....
As about as close as the English are to their cockney Rhyming slang and knotted hankerchiefs!!!! LOL
yes the Welsh have a way of making a whole week celebration out of One day! We were suppost to have our Eisteddfodau today but the snow so bad that we had to close the school. So instead of it being a 2 half day event it may become one full dy of welsh singing, poems and Chairing of the Bardd!! Joy

Who knows Sue?( the closest I ever get is a nice roast on a Sunday) When I moved back to Wales after many years in the "foreign land" I was subjected to many jokes about our 4 legged free-range friends.No idea why. NO folks-we don't keep them in the back garden and unlike Mr Clinton we DON'T have "relations" with them.

My recollection of 20+ years on the Wirral is that anyone who wasn't local was either a Southerner or a Woolyback(h). Southerner was considered more insulting.

I should think so too (LOL).Bet you still weren't a local even when you'd been living there years and years either.
