Well, its a bad day for England and St George. England may have won the Test Series against the West Indies, but another 31 signatures today means that with 1221 signatures, its now 190th out of 7499 petitions, and it has leapt past a petition for St George's Day to be made a national holiday.
So a little county the size of Pembrokeshire (population about 115,000) manages to overtake a petition affecting England (population about 52 million!).
On the one hand I am happy at the effect that this petition is having as signatures continue to be added, but being English myself, I can't help being a little sorry for St George.
St George killed the Dragon, whereas a Dragon is also to be found on the Welsh flag and the emblem of the Welsh Assembly!
I had an interesting phone call from the BBC today. Will update more, in due course, when I actually have news to report, along with the response from MP's and AM's, which I promised for tonight, but I am afraid bed is calling..... and my wife, telling me to get off this computer!
