Re: Saint Georges Day
It'll probably be the same as usual mate. most people seem to think that St Patrick is our patron saint.

Re: Saint Georges Day
Your not exactly celebrating the saint. More the country you where born in. You could ask why celebrate crimbo or why celebrate a birthday or annivesary.
Any fool can be british or european. You have to be born English. I am glad I was for many reasons and I like others would like to celebrate it. jus like other countries celebrate theres. Unfortunatly England don't go for it the same as the Irish or Scots or anyone else. |

Re: Saint Georges Day
hi
i agree with you, people say whats the point? but i think we should celebrate it with pride, we celebrate saint patricksday and we're english, so why don't we show the same pride for our own saint?

Other countries more than likely do not have much to celebrate about
