Are there any proper English traditions, for St Georges Day?

[desprateseagull]

Conkers at dawn?
Beer with breakfast?
Dragon slaying for lunch?
Pimms o'clock, etc..?

 

[KZNSeagull]

Wear a red rose in your lapel
Slay some Frenchmen?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

St George's Day, wouldn't happen in Germany

 

[Norman Baker suck my lozenge]

Sounds like a good Wetherspoons!

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

Huge celebrations here in Cáceres, makes Lewes bonfire look a bit tame! San Jorge is their patron saint.

 

[beorhthelm]

morris dancing?
pub crawl. alot of middle aged chaps in The City will be partaking of this one.

 

[Norman Potting]

Moaning about "why do Scots/Irish/insert name of nation here" celebrate their saint's day better than us?

 

[wellquickwoody]

Row about racism on a chat forum?

 

[8ace]

Moaning that the day should be a bank holiday

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Manufacture nothing

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Apathy.

 

[Bruntburger]

Who was St George anyway?

 

[Dick Head]

Piping in the haggis if Ed Miliband gets in, apparently.









Really though, gathering Dandelions and making Dandelion wine.

 

[Dr Q]

Spend the day enjoying the satisfaction that you were born in the best nation on the planet.

Nothing else needed to beat that.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Luzzing plastic chairs?

 

[gregbrighton]

Ummm go to a country pub and sing English country folk songs and watch some Morris Dancers. Sing Jerusalem and have a curry. Use a dildo.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Who was St George anyway?

A foreign bloke I think.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Forgetting it's actually happening?

 

[Gwylan]

St George he was for England,
And before he killed the dragon
He drank a pint of English ale
Out of an English flagon.
For though he fast right readily
In hair-shirt or in mail,
It isn't safe to give him cakes
Unless you give him ale

Apparently he killed his dragon near Beirut and is very popular with Muslims as well as Christians and Jews. That will upset a few.

He is also very big in Russia I recall.
