The Full English

Armed with confidence, cameras and questions, we joined four students from Stantonbury College in Milton Keynes to find out what St George's Day means to people in the new city.

With a keen interest in media and the toys and technologies that go with it, the four didn't take long to get to grips with the cameras. And with the skills of film trainer and mentor, Nick Hillel, they discovered interview tips and techniques and how to get the best from the interviewee. 

With camera in hand, questions in mind and confidence bolstered, they hit Milton Keynes Shopping Centre to find out what people really thought about St George's Day and what they thought about England.

The reaction was mixed.

Most had a positive response about St George's Day and celebrating Englishness, with the collective images of England being of 'chips', 'beer' and 'pubs' - so much for the celebrity chefs putting England on the culinary map!

Tweed also featured a little, rubbing up against the image of England's Westwood inspired punks, along with cups of tea and, of course, talk about weather! 

Well, we want to find out what you think? What does St George's Day really mean to you?

After Boris Johnson waxed lyrical about us spending a week celebrating it, after complaining that St George’s Day has been ignored in London for far too long”, has this changed your views?

And if you want to join in the fun, come along to the Milton Keynes Theatre from 10.00am on Thursday 23rd April, St George's Day, where the BBC multi-media bus will be there for you to air your views. And if you don't want to join in the St George's Day fun we want to know why not as well!).

From outside the theatre, award-winning arts company Hoipolloi will also be kick-starting a Made in England project, called The Full English, and BBC Three Counties will also be there to talk to you.
