Thank you Snooky, apart from your post, I have only heard it mentioned once on the radio today and nothing else..
Kind Regards, Old Herbaceous.

And Billy S's birthday.
This other Eden, demi-paradise,
This fortress built by Nature for herself
Against infection and the hand of war,
This happy breed of men, this little world,
This precious stone set in the silver sea,
But I'm not sure about the fortress against infection, sadly (nor was it true when written - but I'm sure he was using the word in a different sense)

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

An Ode to St George on St George’s Day
By George - by Elvis McGonagall
Once more unto the breach, dear Morris Dancers once more
Jingle your bells, thwack sticks, raise flagons
Cry “God for Harry and Saint George!”
Gallant knight and slayer of dragons
Patron saint of merry England –
And Georgia, and Catalonia, and Portugal, Beirut, Moscow
Istanbul, Germany, Greece
Archers, farmers, boy scouts, butchers and sufferers of syphilis
Multicultural icon with sword and codpiece
On, on you bullet-headed Saxon sons
Fly flags from white van and cab
But remember stout yeomen, your champion was Turkish
So – get drunk and have a kebab
