How many can say they'll be doing the same for St Georges Day?
![]() I think its daft that in England, St Georges Day is swept under the rug whilst people love St Patricks Day. |

and our culture has very much faded..as other cultures have come in an changed it to an extent |

Well I'd say it has something to do with their own heritage too. There's a fair few who would be able to trace some of their lineage back to Ireland.

Dont constantly try and oppress you neighbours and make your own country and then you might celebrate St Georges day.

I have done in the past but noone seems to care about St Georges Day as they do Paddys day. A lot of pubs don't even do anything for Georges Day yet they all will be doing something tonight. They're still English though |

Paddy's day is as much about a good party as it is any one countries traditions nowdays. St. Georges day has not developed the same reputation hence why it sucks. Remove any patriotic meaning and it's just a wild piss up of a day versus a day not a lot of people care about.
Half of the St. Patrick story is mythology anyway. And as a day that celebrates him introducing a faith that would dominate our government with backwards thinking up until a few years ago, I personally believe it's nothing to celebrate about, more a general feel good day. |

I don't get why other nations celebrate our day,we don't celebrate any of their days,lol! But yeah for us,it's just a 'let's have a good day' day,wear loads of green and get drunk,feck the reasoning behind it all.
