Google Does St George's Day And Shakespeare's Birthday

In the past on this blog, we have criticised Google for ignoring England's national day. But last year and this we have been very pleasantly surprised to see Google bucking its trend with witty and appropriate St George's Day logos. 2009 is the best yet - and the clever doubling, the joint marking of Shakespeare's birthday, makes us very happy indeed.

Thank you, Google!

And happy St George's Day, England!

Google Does St George!

When we retired to bed at around 3am, Google had its usual logo... but checking back in just now we've found the above.

Excellent. We can't reasonably apologise for doubting Google in the first place, but on this occasion we "jumped the gun" and for that we do apologise.

Once again, happy St George's Day, England. Whatever you're doing, have a good day. Where we are it's pouring with rain. England in April in the rain! LOVELY!!

Brollies up!
