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

He's still the patron saint of ENGLAND and don't you forget it bhoy!
I suppose what I'm really trying to say is that we(the English & anyone else who wishes to join in) should celebrate St George's Day too.

Agreed. It's always struck me as a bit odd that we embrace St. Patricks day (I've always put it down to the associated drinking that goes with it), but ignore our own saints day.
