The leek was given to March 1st in honor of St. David, the patron saint of Wales. In Wales, March 1st is a holiday (St. David's Day), and people traditionally wear a leek on that day (same as some folks wear a shamrock on St. Patrick's day in Ireland).

        I live in Swansea which is the second largest city in Wales, after Cardiff. So kind of close to Cardiff. - Charlotte Apr 22 2001, 3:26:28 PM

        If you can put up with the showers of light rain you get here in Swansea, it's a nice place to live. [more] - Charlotte Apr 23 2001, 7:29:41 AM
        
        Not cool, Charlotte, playing games like that over on Norah's forum. (n/t) - Nanaea Apr 23 2001, 1:16:33 PM
        
        Nanaea, fair enough airing your comments AT Norah's forum but there is no need to bring it over here unless you are aware of the actual truth. Please go and read my post at Norah's forum. - http://members2.boardhost.com/haggisbutt/msg/17425.html .. Thank - Charlotte Apr 24 2001, 7:46:10 AM
