Re: St. George's Day
I have NEVER, Ever, had a knees up on St Patricks Day
Nor on St Andrews
St David, well yes, a time to remember all my Welsh family no longer with us
Unless you haven't noticed - the English here are being quite reserved about it, as they are about most things. We don't need a "day" to celebrate, to get pissed out of our minds, we do that Every day, don't need a Saint.

Re: St. George's Day
Where's the romance in you jim ?
O my Luve's like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve's like the melodie
That’s sweetly play'd in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry:
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun:
I will luve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
And fare thee well, my only Luve
And fare thee well, a while!
And I will come again, my Luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile
...and how many amongst you have not joined in Auld Lang Syne at the New Year, though it's not all down to Rabbie ?

Anzac Day today.
Time to remember those brave guys from down under who did their bit and quite a bit more besides when the chips were really down.

Re: St. George's Day
St Edmund was the patron saint of England until Edward III (1312-1377) took it upon himself to proclaim someone with more bravado to take his place....
Should have left well alone...
