Have a great St Georges day to all the English members of the forum.. It is amazing how it is never celebrated much compared with St Patricks Day. Have fun..

hello dec.. I for one, would like to celebrate St Georges Day.. there was supposed to be a campaign last year to get it as widely recognised as Paddys Day.. but doubt it will ever happen.. could this be cos we are not as much of a nation of **** heads as the Paddys or just not as patriotic???

I don't think at times as patriotic and this country tries to restrict the St Georges Day celebrations so as not to "offend" other minorities...what a load of crap... Still i suppose i have the best of both worlds seeing how my parents were Irish... :)

Have fun Sapphire..

tis true to be sure :)

i think its so popular initially as emmigrants of Ireland the world over used it to remember where they came from. This biggest patricks day parades are not in Ireland
