Tech very rapidly hashed together emojos he already had in answer to a call for Commonwealth Games icons, I agree they aren't perfect, but as an English lass brought up in Wales DragonDaffodil is quite pretty

Oh and George of the dragon fame was turkish

Tony The UK basically IS some Harry Potter/Dragon film. Grin Look at us! We're all weird castles, odd traditions and mythical creatures! We have a few evil magicians too.
