"St. George. was not even, English."

No he was Pakistani wasn't he? I can never remember. He never even came to England.

That's all kinda academic and besides the point though though.

I don't care. It's still a good excuse to have a glass of Red on a work night.

Posted elsewhere….

St George was 4th Century BC Cappadocian Greek not Turkish.

Parents were Greek - Mother was from Lydda, which is now in modern day Syria. Back in the 4th Century BC it was part of the Macedonian empire of Alexander “the great”.

It wasn’t until the 11th Century AD that the Turks conquered the Anatolian peninsula.

He’s also very part-time, being the patron saint of loads of other nations besides England.

I think something got lost in translation over the years. St George actually slayed with the drag on.
