For our brothers across the pond:

> [St George's Day - an occasion which not too long ago could arguably pass by almost unnoticed - is now being celebrated on a far wider scale, according to groups promoting the day.](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk%5Fnews/england/4877086.stm?ref=thedailyeudemon.com)

One of my favorite Chesterton poems:

> St. George he was for England  
> And before he slew the dragon,  
> He drank a pint of ale  
> Out of an English flagon.

> And though he fast mightily  
> In hair shirt or in mail,  
> It isn't safe to give him cakes,  
> Unless you gave him ale.

(Note: I quote the poem from memory, so it might not be precise, but it's very close)
