Er.....any comment to make?

Ok I will, their patron Saint is St George, they have had him longer than we have. We had St Edmund as our patron saint only changing to St. George in medieval times.

Edited to add, Guess why the country has always been called Georgia.

When Georgia attended the Olympics in '96 in Atlanta the crowd raised a massive cheer.

Its only then they realised it was Georgia, Russia.

Georgia's new national flag - perhaps strangely familiar to the English - was proudly unfurled throughout Tbilisi for the visit of George W Bush. So who devised it and did they have to follow any rules?
