April 23rd is St Georges Day

[Vlad the Impala]

How about starting off by mastering the English language in his honour?

It is St George's Day. Note the apostophe - it is significant.

And, Leekbrookgull, a comma is not the same as an apostrophe.

as i was really offended when the irish celebrated, and lets be honest, we dont want to offend imigrants by celebrating the country that is housing them do we

of the lowest order.

 

[Scotty Mac]

But you happily celebrated St George's day.

im guessing you mean st patricks day - and you were the one ruined if i remember correctly. although the free hats were worth it

How about eating and drinking only English products for the whole weekend?

This is England's national day so let's get as many England flags on show as possible, and shove the fact we're proud of it down the throats of all those politically correct wankers. Go out on the streets, and celebrate St Georges, with the hopefully festivals on.

I'm with you.

No councillor is ever gonna tell me what I can and can't do.

If I wanna fly my flag from my window I will do.

English & very proud of it.

 

[Gerbil]

i dont want to celebrate in case i offend someone of an ethnic minority

Got that wrong there mate.

we SHOULDN'T be allowed to celebrate it in case it offends some minority or other.

But it's OK to celebrate St Patricks day,the chinese new year,diwalhi etc etc.

Like that pint of Guinness you're drinking there?

No, it's Riggwelter.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Right then, all you moaners who are complaining that you might not be allowed to "celebrate St George's Day".

EXACTLY WHAT CELEBRATION DO YOU HAVE IN MIND?

Is it just flying a flag?

If so, that's pathetic as celebrations go.

Celebrating by having a feast with family, or going to a festival in a rural area, with lots of dancing etc, and maybe have a few drinks. Not just a flag outside my window.

 

[Lady Bracknell]

As it happens, I'm offended by most of the St. Patrick's Day celebrations I see over here. Mainly because they consist of English drunks wearing stoopid hats. So, if I want to celebrate the 17th March properly I'd prefer to go home, thanks.

But what's stopping anyone celebration St. George's Day? Only I don't recall any sort of edict prohibiting the enjoyment of it.

a HUGE parade through the streets, followed by a concert of classical english music, rounded up nicely by some form of street party with banners drapped across the streets, eating cream buns and drinking earl grey tea

Thats what exactly I was thinking.

 

[Lady Bracknell]

Earl Grey tea? Shurely it should be warm Tizer to wash down the spam and pickle sarnies if you want a proper English celebration.

 

[Hungry Joe]

Lovely stuff boys. And which English Composers and pieces of classical English music will you be listening to?
