Happy St Georges Day

[SocketRocket]

I think too many people care too much about patriotism (flags, Saints Days etc).
Who really cares about it being St George's Day - what is the point of it?

Horses for Courses. You live your life others live theirs.

I know why it's not been massively celebrated, COZ ITS NOT TODAY 😵
It's next Monday, if you don't believe me pop round to your local church and ask your Pervy vicar.

It WAS the 23rd. But it's Celebrated next Monday because the 'clash' with Easter (this year)!

Just had a thought maybe St Patricks is so popular is Eire is still a catholic Country where as the other home nations are all mainly protestant, Catholicism still worship Saints to a certain extent where as Prody gave all that up in the Reformation... Maybe, who knows. Perhaps making St George the PS of getting pissed my change how its viewed

Try 'significant' rather than ' a certain'! That quite possibly explains a lot of the reduced English approach - political manipulation. To me, it's the 'National Day of England' rather than a particular saint's day. Same probably applies in Scotland, though I found it 'celebrated' reasonably well - more commercially cf nationalistically - when I was there.

So much for wishing people a nice day, we get a disection of all the ins and outs of a cats backside. 🙄
