IT is that time of the year when we are exhorted to celebrate St George's Day. St George was not the people's choice; he was foisted on this country by the Normans.

The choice of the Engle (the early English) was St Edmund, the king and martyr. For more information about the campaign to reinstate St Edmund as the patron saint of Engle-land contact 'Thaa Engliscan Gesithas' BM Box 4336, London, WCI 3XX.
