Happy Saint George's Day everyone! I nearly forgot about it. Which is a pretty English thing to do. Nobody cares here about the country's patron saint. Even Wolfie does not care much, if at all, and Saint George's Day. He told me this morning, in a disdainful tone: "Daddy, what's special about Saint George's Day? Why do people celebrate it?" This is a new Wolfism and, while not the Englishest he said, it is pretty close. Because it seems that no true Englishman cares about Saint George's Day.

Actually, George was adopted as the country's saint in the 14th century. Before that, the patron saint of England was one of their kings, Edward the Confessor. And George is patron saint of a number of other countries. Unfortunately, like other things, St George's Day has been taken over by the sort of people you don't want your son talking to.
