St Georges Day Motif

[Sammy48]

Why has the motif in the top left hand corner not been changed to mark this day. I notice it changes for St Patrick's Day and other patron saints day so why not St Georges.

[Jackdaw33]

Because it's a Saturday and the Eds don't work weekends.

[Baldric]

Same story every year Sammy.

Perhaps they should have had the forethought to do it yesterday.

[ummmm]

They've never changed it for St Georges day as far as I can remember. Or the other saints beside St Pat.

[THECORBYLOON]

What other saints does it change for? It's not changed for St Andrew.

[MargoTester]

Well they flipping well should. I think I remember them doing something for St David's Day

[jno]

what was that, a leek?

[Jackdaw33]

It has been changed in the past, both for St George and St Andrew. It was changed this year for St David. Strangely enough, I am not bothered. We don't really need a flag or celebration because we don't have an inferiority complex.

[MargoTester]

Daffodils if I remember correctly

[ummmm]

In reality though how much time do you spend staring at the logo?

[Mamyalynne]

None.

[Jackdaw33]

The difference may be down to the fact that in Wales and Ireland the saints' days are public holidays, unlike in England and Scotland.

[MargoTester]

Not much to be fair - but if it's done for one it should be done for all of them.

[Jackdaw33]

It doesn't really matter because according to other threads currently running there may soon be just one motif for all. TTT's latest avatar illustrates this perfectly.

[Mamyalynne]

Perfectly to some, needless and tacky to others.


I only ever notice the logo when someone starts a thread about the logo.

daffs, ah well, there's an inclusive, all-purpose motif. They even grow here in the deep south along with other tropical plants.

Cotton?

[Gromit]

All the dragons are too busy working on Game of Thrones.

Wales seem a bit greedy in this respect. Red Dragon Daffodils Leeks. :-)

...and not a sheep in sight.
