Egluntyne Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 'Ear 'ear. Shame on google for not doing a nice little twiddly bit on their logo to celebrate either event, especially when you think of some of the obscure things they do note.

craftyhunnypie Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 I loved the google doodle yesterday. All animals that did something when hovered over with the pointer. I especially liked the fish that climed the waterfall, only to be caught by the bear! Happy St Georges Day. Not having Roast Beef dinner, but a steak on the barbie - suppose that's traditional English enough? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couperwife Posted April 24, 2011 Author Share Posted April 24, 2011 in the end i found ONE story on the BBC about st Georges day are the English that unimportant? cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 It seems so. When I was on holiday in Egypt ( in February), the English were the only ones there. Other countries had said no to going there because of the trouble. We kept their tourism going. But on our second week, the Germans lifted their ban & they came again. Well you should have seen our hotel pander to them. They even got loyalty cards! It seems that the country that keeps peace & helps others is forgotten. But then hopefully The Royal Wedding will bring out some true British spirit! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
