It's fast approaching. Any events? Anything happening? Or are all the English busy organising next years st patricks day... Must be summat going on ? Anyone ? :)
 
There bloody well should be....I'm sick & tired of reading about various publically subsidised events, such as St Patricks Day bashes, Gay bashes, Festival oF Eid, etc....shut this nonsense down and lets celebrate ENGLAND!
 
It's a sad state of affairs when the majority of English people do not know when St Georges Day is.

I shall be celebrating St Georges Day with a few scoops of Charles Wells' Bombardier, the self appointed official unofficial beer of St Georges Day. If you go to the Charles Wells homepage www.charleswells.co.uk and follow the link to www.bombardier.co.uk there a few items of interest which may twang your heartstrings and love for your Mother
Country... Sign the petition to make St Georges Day a bank holiday, follw the link to www.thevalueofstgeorge.com. Food, (and drink), for thought there, Tealeaf.
 
I agree....if we're going to have a holiday in April/May, then lets gets rid of this May Day Euro nonsense and have St Georges Day...let the Joc's & the Taffs have their hoidays as well. May Day (certainly where I am at the moment) is no more than an excuse for various anarchists, animal-lovers and 57 other varieties of riff-raff to turn up & smash the town up. They would'nt dare do that on St Georges Day.
 
We used to go with the Brownies and girl guides every year. Is it the 23rd or the 21st? One of the two is St. Georges day, the other is the Queen's birthday - you see, there aer some patriots out here still...
 
Was that on the actual date or on the nearest saturday/sunday to the 23rd?....I always thought we celebreated the Queens Birthday on her official birthday.

I get an invite every year to a St Georges Day bash in Australia which is combined over the weekend with Anzac day on 25th April...it's held over a long weekend from the nearest thursday night to tuesday morning. About a 1000 people with a medieval theme. Unfortunatly, I've never been...maybe next year
 
That's what we were wondering Baudelaire - please let us know precisely what there is to celebrate on your birthday and why.
Cheers!
 
We already have loads of public holidays around this time of the year. Why not have one (or more) in October/November ?

The idea of having a day to celebrate the life of some mythical being is bizarre to say the least in the 21st century.
 
Introduce St Georges Day. Scrap May Day (Euro nonsense). Have a holiday 18th june (Waterloo day) and another 21st October (Trafalgar Day).
