Sorry mate, but I'm from Oz so WTF is St George ???
Was he someone important ??? Like the patron saint of beer ?

Hope you night goes well.

[Playboy]

As the patron saint of England, that makes him the de facto patron saint of beer.

'Tis most splendid! http://www.medieval-faire.com/speak.html

While we're at it, we can sup a pint of goodly ale to celebrate Shakespeare's 448th an' all.

Who's Australia's patron saint, anyway - Rolf Harris?

Wild Horses couldn't drag me away...

Nar, he was expelled so went back home to the motherland.

However Ido believe that Barry Humpries is the patron saint of drinking and perving on women.

Dv8, I think you should replace the word 'British' (twice) with 'English'. Don't want to upset the rest of the Brits.

Scoffer, I think you mean Les Patterson?

[dv8inpp]

You are correct, St George is Englands patron saint and not Great Britain's.

However Scottish and Welsh although born in Great Britain, thereby being British, will mostly refer to themselves as either Scottish or Welsh not British. English people born in England calls themselves either English, as in NOT Welsh or Scottish, or British interchangeably.

I guess it depends on if you were born in the UK and have an inherent local nationality or English/British, Welsh or Scottish or you an outsider.

Could be wrong I guess you'd need to do a survey to see what is the most common interpretation.

What? St. George was German?

[SunSan]

Wasn't he Syrian?

Perhaps beer is for the Germans and Ale for the British. I love this quote:


"Ale is made of malte and water; and they the which do put any other thynge to ale than is rehersed, except yest, barme, or goddesgood [three words for yeast], doth sophysticat there ale. Ale for an Englysshe man is a naturall drinke. Ale muste haue these properties, it muste be fresshe and cleare, it muste not be ropy, nor smoky, nor it must haue no wefte nor tayle. Ale shulde not be dronke vnder .v. dayes olde …. Barly malte maketh better ale than Oten malte or any other corne doth … Beere is made of malte, of hoppes, and water; it is a naturall drynke for a doche [Dutch] man, and nowe of late dayes it is moche vsed in Englande to the detryment of many Englysshe men … for the drynke is a colde drynke. Yet it doth make a man fatte, and doth inflate the bely, as it doth appere by the doche mennes faces and belyes."
Andrewe Boorde (1557)

Sunsan, from what I've just read, beer may well have had its origins in Syria!

But in case i have missed something in life! What is a Melto Norbray Pork Pie compared to other Pork Pies?

I thought beer was a Hebrew/Aramaic word for a well? In which case, possible true.

Beersheba reference in the OT.

Beersheba= beer, Sheila!
