Nick Tessla Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 There re certainly more logical candidates - St Cuthbert perhaps or how about pinching St Piran off the Cornish. He is supposed to have lived to a ripe old age (200!) despite being a committed imbiber - fin.ally he got so drunk that he died from falling down a well - a binge drinker with a demise that is right out of Last of the Summer Wine - what could be more English Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Tessla Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 St George wasn't Turkish. No one was then p Turkey didn't exist - his place of birth and his nationality (possibly his parents were from somewhere in Greece) are unclear - one thing is pretty well certain is that he never set foot in England.

Eagle Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Exactly. It is alleged that his father was Roman and mother Palestinian but for point scoring purposes he is always described as Turkish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
