From time immemorial the Welsh have worn a leek on St. David's day, in memory of a battle against the Saxons, at which it is said they wore leeks in their hats, by St. David's advice, to distinguish them from their enemies.

Unsurprisingly, the saxons won.

I spent 2 years in Wales (2007-2009) and I doubt even the Welsh know its St. David's Day. I don't remember anyone making a big thing about it. Its a shame they don't make a proper day of it, the Welsh are mad as a brush!

My favourite things about Wales.......Katherine Jenkins, the Woodville and chips from chippy lane after.
