Cry God for England, Harry & St George

Alphabet Media is a little bit rojak, and I like it that way. We've got people from all over - obviously a fair few Singaporeans, since this is where we're based, and from our near neighbours in Southeast Asia. We've also got people from mainland China (seeing that there's 1.3 billion of them, employing a couple of their best people was the least we could do). Then we've got a German and an American - which bearing in mind I'm English, just goes to demonstrate how politically correct I've become in my old age.

Well, almost.

Last Saturday I dusted off my bowler hat, ironed a copy of The Times of London, and celebrated England's national day with a St George's Day barbecue at my place. It's surely a testament to my powers of persuasion that I was able to cajole so many of my friends and members of the Alphabet family to dress in red and white. And in the spirit of hypocrisy for which the English were once famed, I managed to avoid dressing up in red/white completely... (though there was an England flag on my back).

Seeing as we have people from all over, with more joining every month, I expect to find many more 'cultural' excuses for a party or two in the months ahead!
