Knowing how intensely patriotic English people are on St G's Day (go on, how many of you, like Hilary, forgot?) I thought I would add to harmony between nations by helping you celebrate. I did this by going to my local and drinking St George's Ale (by Pitchfork Brewery, Weston-Super-Mare). I was encouraged in this by the special St G Day price of £1.50 a pint. Splendid. When did I have my last pint at this price? Not this century, I think.
