Re: Handy resource
It has never been clear to me as to the proper way to observe St. David's Day. A leek in my local green grocer is about a foot long and rather heavy. How does one attach this to one's lapel?

I think Chuck is cheating...
That's not a leek:
That's a spring onion (and a small one at that):

What is the difference between Leek and Spring Onion?
• The edible part of leek lies above the ground whereas, in the case of spring onion, even the bulb that remains inside the earth is consumed.
• Leek is larger than spring onion.
• Leeks have a much milder flavor than spring onions.
Unless of course, Welsh leeks are scrawny, wimpy little things that are no bigger than a small spring onion...
As opposed to the large, robust, manly leeks we grow here in America...

I'd be more concerned about a leek in my pants than on my lapel.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

Grasshoppers - just not as catchy as "snakes"
For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts
Re: Handy resource
looks like Charlie just yanked up a scallion from the lawn.
wild scallions are a tasty, spicy addition to any omelette.

We have a range of items you can show your allegiance to the Y Ddraig Goch with on Dydd Gŵyl Dewi
I prefer to wear the Daffodil myself.
Mind you, we could take a leaf out of the Goons books.

Re: Handy resource
Daffodil is rarely in bloom on this side of the pond March first. Only weak, frail things nurtured in a hothouse and an insult to any Welshman.
