I hope that everyone has been enjoying St George's Day. I did what I always do if I am working on the day. I go and buy several bunches of red roses from Asda and take them into work and make everyone buttonholes to wear. It's something I've done ever since I've been been working at BHS and the girls appreciate it.

I was on my lunchbreak and had gone into the mall to get something to eat, as I was walking along i saw a young couple walking towards me and the young man was wearing a red rose in his pocket. I walked upto him and asked if I could shake his hand, he held his hand out and said "have a Happy St Georges day and it was nice to see someone else wearing a red rose to celebrate our patron saint" He was the only other person I saw out in the shopping centre wearing a rose. I did see several people wearing England football shirts
