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.

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.

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

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 apathy!
