Do not pick dandelions they make you wee the bed, that is what i was told as a child. The rubbish children used to get told.  Happy St Georges day, i am off to the pub tonight for a St Georges day celebration party.

The roots are a diuretic.

Just to remind you all, St George was born into a christian Turkish family in Turkey....and killed a so called dragon in Libyia...................perhaps when we get out of this EU thing we can have a "home grown" patron saint..............

There never was a St George it was a story dreamt up to boost the flagging moral of the Crusaders against Saladin. There is a George celebrated by the Eastern churches but not ours. On the other hand there  was a St Patrick a St Andrew and a St David.

Rubbish. If there was no Saint George we would still be hunting Dragons.
