... that the flag of Greece is deeply symbolic. It consists of four white and five blue alternating horizontal stripes, with a white cross on the upper inner corner.

The cross on the flag is that of the Christian religion.
...that there is an exciting youth theatre group in Stockton? The Arden Theatre Company recently presented Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew at the Arc in Stockton. It was completely brilliant!

The company also has a super website giving all sorts of information about the group and its activities. Click here to visit it - www.arden-theatre.com.
