Ye Happy St George's Day

Ye%20George%20Inn.jpgThis blogger's local boozer, the Ye George Inn in Beckenham, Kent, celebrated the feast of St George with a live broadcast of the Johnny Vaughan Capital radio breakfast show from their beer garden on Monday morning.

The George, as it is locally known, has never seen such revelry in its 300 year history with local Morris dancers, brass bands and military battalions turning out for a good, old-fashioned street party to celebrate England's all-saints day.

As well as normal English activities such as drinking beer before breakfast and parking an old routemaster bus in the pub carpark - the celebrations were topped off with a race to down a pint of beer and a pint of microwaved chicken tikka masala.

The only problem now is that with the Ye George Inn getting London-wide publicity on the capital's local radio station its normally quite ambiance may well be ruined by an influx of outsiders into the Beckenham local scene. They might even start doing trendy things like wine or burgers.

Ye George would be turing in his grave...
