En-ger-land, En-ger-land, En-ger-land

It was St George's Day on the 23rd of April. A day of national pride, when the nation unfurls and waves the St George's Cross across the land. It's also a day of tacky medievel themed village fetes and novelty promotions in all the pubs in England.

My local pub held a 'Trivia Knight' and whipped the crowd (12 of us) into a frenzy of national pride by replaying great moments in English sport on the TV over the bar - we watched a black and white fuzzy replay of the 1966 world cup victory over Germany....ate our free portion of toad-in-the-hole and promptly left.......glowing with pride and burning with gastric reflux.
