Turn up in Birmingham on Paddy's day and most of the city centre is closed off for a massive party and parade. What happens on George's day  :?  oh yeah, the council raises a flag (but that'll stop soon knowing them)  :evil:

I'm not bothered about a public holiday, I just think that more should be done
by the government  to promote & celebrate St George's Day.

I'm quite the opposite.

I hate the religious overtones of celebrating a saint as a national patron. I bet none of those 90% of English who didn't know when St George's Day is don't go to church. Then why have a day for what is in fact less than 10%. Who the *#@$ is St George? I didn't vote for him. Dragons don't exist anyway.

I am however all for another national holiday. So perhaps i should promote a Bank Holiday to mark Great Britain Day or Democracy Day.

Thrasher:
How about Independence day? For the exact opposite reason to the Americans ;-) They celebrate being independent from us .... we celebrate getting rid of them <tongue>
