"St. George. was not even, English.
No he was Pakistani wasn't he? I can never remember. He never even came to England.
That's all kinda academic and besides the point though though."

Posted elsewhere….
St George was 4th Century BC Cappadocian Greek not Turkish.
Parents were Greek - Mother was from Lydda, which is now in modern day Syria. Back in the 4th Century BC it was part of the Macedonian empire of Alexander “the great”.
It wasn’t until the 11th Century AD that the Turks conquered the Anatolian peninsula.

"Next you’ll be telling me that he didn’t slay that pesky dragon to.
….he did…didn’t he….?
Well…. Have you seen any dragons?
There you go - he must have done."

I think something got lost in translation over the years. St George actually slayed with the drag on.
