Begorrah.

I understand it’s St Patrick’s Day today. I nearly missed that, it was only a reference on someone’s LJ that reminded me. Well done, Ireland, well done. He was Welsh, you know.

As patron saint of Ireland, I understand he shares that distinction with co-patrons Columbo and Dr Kildare.

Who knew? Not me.

And St George wasn't English......

I suggest a strongly worded letter to the Dail Mail.

Patrick is also the patron saint of Nigeria.

He (in his autobiography) says that he was a Roman. He seems to have lived in or near Birdoswald fort, which is in Cumbria.
