Happy St Georges Day
 

:pipe:

Oh, wondering where this was... bit of an afterthought isn't it?

..when I went into town yesterday I saw some Happy St George Day cards which I've never noticed before..I wonder if many people send them...

Quite a Few flags flying here today.:cheer2:

How do the English celebrate this day? :amazed:

We don't!:laugh:

:worry: You don't celebrate your culture/pride today? Is there some other national day instead?

This is so uncelebrated that I didnt even know it was St Georges day :S

We seem to focus more on Paddys day as its an excuse to get pissed :laugh:

Yeah most the country probably won't even realise it's today, we English aren't great fans of overstated displays of patriotism

Depends on the person really.

Me personally, I wake up in the morning, knock one off on my St. George's flag and roll around it. Then I go downstairs and make a full English breakfast and knock one off over that too (don't worry I don't eat it).

Then I watch my DVD highlights of England constantly being cheated out of the World Cup because we never get beaten honestly followed by an evening karaoke rendition of World in motion and God save the Queen then it's off to bed to dream about the ending to braveheart.

Love this day. :cheer2:

Don't you get a day off for it or anything?

No day off if only one of the parties had making St George's Day a bank holiday in their manifesto, it would be a huge vote winner, it's the little things that win elections.

I think UKIP do

My Facebook feed is full of pictures of Nigel Farage with a pint and an English flag in his hands and people saying he pledges to make it a national holiday so I guess UKIP already cottoned on :shrug:

You said it brother.:shrug:

:joker:

Nope.....this makes me feel quite sad actually, we should have a day where we have street parties, and local activities and music festivals, i think it says a lot about us English really:laugh:

st andrews day goes unnoticed up here too

UKIP said they will make it a bank holiday Cherie.

Are we allowed to celebrate it even?

It would be a good thing, it would stop people whinging and whining about St Patricks Days parades in England, though what they fail to grasp is that the parades are held the weekend before so what is to stop the English doing the same :idc: apathy!

Who is stopping you from celebrating Kaz? there was a phone in on 5 live this morning about this, apparently someone wants more Morris dancing as this celebrates being English, so please go right ahead :joker:

Happy St George's Day :)

Our esteemed Oirish friend is correct Kazanne. There's nothing stopping you from celebrating it.

Nope, seriously noone I know gives a ****e about it :S

Mind if we got a bank holiday for it I imagine that would change as..again..it would be an excuse to get pissed. Seems to be all people care about :joker:
