Life in Newburgh on Ythan

A happy St George's Day to you all.

To help celebrate St George's Day - 2 contrasting thoughts on the English:-

"The world still consists of two clearly divided groups; the English and the foreigners. One group consists of less than 50 million people; the other of 3,950 million people. The latter group does not really count."

György Mikes (1912 - 1987) Hungarian-born British author best known for his humorous commentaries on various countries.

"A demon took a monkey for a wife - the result, by the grace of God, was the English."
