Question, what does St Georges Day have to do with Britishness? It's an English day, not a British Day. If you're going for that what about St Andrew's Day? Or even St Patrick's Day for Northern Ireland (the only national saints day that is actually a holiday)

Veras = Vera Lynns = skins = Rizlas
Salmon = salmon & trout = snout = tobacco
