St George's Day poem

Typical!


A Celebration of Englishness for St George’s Day, inspired by the results of a survey asking what things we thought of as “typically” English. Can you guess which came top?

 
Discussing the Weather
A Sunday Roast
Going to the pub
Marmite on Toast
 
Being down-to-earth
Stiff upper lips
Extreme politeness
Fish and Chips
 
A nice cup of tea
Queueing up
Going to the pub
The FA Cup
 
The Queen’s speech at Christmas
Mowing the lawn
Telling your kids
“You don’t know you’re born”
 
Going to the pub
Having a Sing-Song
Saying sorry when
You’ve done nothing wrong
 
William Shakespeare
Stories of the Blitz
A full English Breakfast
Cream Tea at the Ritz
 
Going to the pub
Missing the last bus
Going to the pub
Not making a fuss
 
Going to the pub
Dunkirk Spirit
Going to the pub
Just A Minute
 
Going to the pub
Going to the pub
Going to the pub
Going to the pub
 
George and the Dragon
Working Men’s Clubs
Roses in bloom and
Going to the pub
 
Proud, yet always moaning
Ah! There’s the rub

Cry God for Harry, England and St George….

I’m off down the pub!
