I think this is in fact un-English. It's the kind of thing foreigners do, and good luck to them - I'm more than happy to join in on their Bastille Day, St Patrick's Day, Independence Day celebrations. But I don't see why we should ape their ways. And if we must have a national celebration, we should re-introduce the May Pole in every community, get blattered on strong ale and cider and hold a medieval game of football, resulting in multiple deaths and village burnings. -

I did what I usually do for St Patrick's Day: absolutely nothing, because I'm not Irish. I intend to do the same for St George's Day, or possibly less, as it's the day after my birthday, so I'll probably be feeling a little fragile.Originally posted by Churchill View PostGood morning all!
Hope you all had a pleasant evening.

How many of you are going to do the same for St George's Day?
