To think it should be a red rose and not a bloody dragon...

[Chil1234]

... if it's supposed to represent St George's Day? Dragons are Welsh, surely?

i said that when they werte discussing a st georges day symbol!!

clearly nobody listened!!

and its a silly looking dragon as well...i dont like it!!

St George is supposed to have killed the I think; I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

But I agree with you, red dragons are strongly associated with Wales and I think they should have had it.

A rose would have been lovely, not sure why it was vetoed.

But red roses are for Feb 14th.

I dunno whether you saw the thread requesting the dragon, but the Tech guy was really struggling to find a non-red one, and the rose was rejected due to a lack of agreement about Lancs/Yorks/Northants rose, I think.

You say dragons "are" Welsh, but St George IS supposed to have slain one.

no, St George killed a Dragon, that's why he's famous.

The Red Rose is only part of England (York Rose (white) versus Lanchashire rose (red)) so that wouldn't be allowed

I think we should have had a choice of roses.

Poor MNHQ damned if they do damned if they don't [buwink]

I personally like it

why not a little english flag then?

the dragon we have been given is NOT cute and i refuse to use it!! so there!!

it looks limp!!

A little flag better.
Dragon not right for English.
Wondered why it was there tbh. Only now does it make sense.

but the dragon St George killed wouldn't have been cute either!! that was why it had to be killed!

YABU who ever heard of St George slaying a red rose

so we now have a murder victim as a representation of st georges day?

its fictional dragons dont really exist

Tiffany if you won't use it I will [buwink]

Vinegar pmsl at george slaying a rose [bugrin]

The red rose is all of England. It's the Tudor Rose. It's also the Lancaster rose. Because we won. Ner.

every historical reference relating to St George ive ever seen, shows him slaying a dragon, you may not like it but thats history, or maybe we should completely change history and show him holding a ickle red rose, just for you

War of the Roses, in which the House of York got their arses kicked

Of course St George's symbol is a dragon! Tut tut, does no-one study iconography any more?

The dragons of England and Wales are symbolically locked in battle, it's one of Merlin's prophecies that the two would fight forever.

My DS has a passion for .

I like it.

I read that as a Red Nose [bublush]

VinegarTits, by that logic St. Patrick's day should have had a snake for a symbol!

The dragon is a Welsh symbol. It's on their bloody flag!

Better a Welsh dragon than a Cappadocian saint, surely?
