haha nice one
I loved the England football fans singing anti-Turkish songs last week even though their proud St. George was apparantly Turkish.

Saints with guns is a great idea though.

Is the St Georges cross...
...not taken from Richard the Lionheart who was French, never spoke English and barely ever set foot in the country?
( Mystery_Bob, Mon 7 Apr 2003, 11:19, archived)

St Patrick and William Wallace
were apparently both Welsh.
( HP SPEEDCORE!, Mon 7 Apr 2003, 11:23, archived)

William Wallace was Scottish...
...but the surname Wallace means Welsh.

Not surprising considering the Celtic origins and ties of both countries.

True...
...The St Andrews cross, or saltire, comes from the fact he ws crucified on an X.

I think the legend is that he asked to be crucified on an X as that is the first letter of the Greek word for Christ.

I might be making that up though.

my previous comment was based on my thick-headed confusion of Andrew /Patrick. I'm such a fuckwit.

That OK... I'm happy to teach.

I like telling people that it's Scotch Whisky and Irish Whiskey. The Irish added the e as a marketing ploy to differentiate their product.

Nasty bit of propoganda
spread about by the Church in the middle ages;
They were trying to promote 'their' brand of Christianity & squash other flavours by dissing things like Mary Magdelane & fishes & promoting things like crosses, Holy Grail & communion...
Bear in mind the Bible has been selectivly translated.
( Duncan Disorderly, Mon 7 Apr 2003, 11:48, archived)

Probably true....
...but I still like the legend of how Scotland came to adopy St Andrew as per below.

What do you mean was..
... hes still alive - I saw him a in a film a few years back. Can't remember what it was called though.

So was
the patron Saint of Ireland (Andrew?) We get fuckin EVERYWHERE
( mictoboy b3ta.com/calendar/event/12383, Mon 7 Apr 2003, 11:26, archived)

St Andrew is Scotland's patron saint...
"According to this legend, the Pictish King Angus, son of Fergus, was marching southwards with his army, when they found themselves confronted by a larger force under an English leader called Athelstan. Defeat seemed almost certain, but after Angus and his men had prayed for deliverance, the appearance in the blue sky above them of a white cloud in the shape of a saltire or St Andrew's Cross seemed to promise that their prayers had been heeded. Thereupon Angus vowed that if they were victorious that day, St Andrew would forever after be their patron saint. Victory was indeed theirs, Angus remembered his vow, and so Andrew became our patron saint and his cross our flag."

All I know is Our Patron Saint, David. Was a little wussy, but he did build the world's smallest cathedral.

I went to school in St Davids for 3 months
It's the size of a village but has city status because of it's cathederal. Bet Milton Keynes and Swindon love that! :)

Bit like Bath, then.

It's way, way smaller

St. Davids really is the size of a village.
