The England flag will be flying proud at Rishton Towers and I'm hosting a special England quiz night as I do every year but how is everyone else planning to celebrate?

:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: from a would be member of Gordons new model army:D:D

I'll be at Westminster chained to the railings burning my macaroons and Earl Grey if I'm ever ordered to take down my England flag on the grounds of racism.

I can see the headlines now.....

'RISHTON TERRORIST ARRESTED IN RACISM PLOT'
A Lancashire man was arrested today after police raided his kitchen and found materials that are known components of potentially dangerous objects known locally as 'Eccles Cakes'. Ken Moss, 32, of Rishton in Hyndburn was defiant as he was dragged away and insisted that the cakes were for personal consumption. His wife, who cannot be named for legal reasons, broke down in tears and was released on bail following her arrest for aiding and abetting terrorist activity in the UK.
It is understood by Metropolitan Police that the Eccles Cakes were due to be 'baked for England' on 23rd April for St George's Day. The move is believed to have been racially motivated and has been condemned by government officials. The trial continues.
 
I'll be enjoying my usual St. George's day celebratory treat, dragon pie.

I stand corrected in my choice of patisserie....

My wife bakes the most amazing Chorley cakes I've ever had and her Eccles cakes are out of this world. Little wonder I've put on 3st since meeting her!
 
Used to be Ken but I've retired:D

It can only possibly be through health reasons so you have my deepest sympathies, John.

Best not to regale you with delightful stories of beautiful Moorhouses ales, fresh from the pump at the end of a summer's day then....?

I know it's 'Dingle Beer' but they've got a cracking brewery up there and no mistake.

If you want to avoid the hassle, take a little trip to the great province of Newfoundland and Labrador, where St. George's Day is a provincial holiday:mosher: Have a feast of seal flipper pie ... wash it down with screech or swish ... pop round to Dildoe and have a few beers with the folks there .... :D
