The Irish put the rest of us to shame - even if it is used as an excuse for a major hangover the next day !
There was talk about making it a bank holiday, did that all fizzle out ?
I attached my England flag to the back of my rucksack last year and rode to work. Bearing in mind most of the customers we deal with are non-English, I was certainly taking a risk when I was waiting to go through the gate! :w00t:
Thank you for the reminder OG. Mrs J and her sister are already feelnig the benefit of a bit of old English cider and can honorobly say theyāre the first to celebrate StGD hicccccccccc:rolleyes:
I shall be enjoying the annual St Georges day event of a half day at work followed by an afternoon & evening of drinking ābomb-bar-dierā down in Leadenhall Market.
For those of you who work in the City, donāt forget the St Georges day parade.
*"April 23rd 2010 will see the revival of a great English tradition not seen in the City of London since 1585. St George, patron saint of England will parade through the streets of the Square Mile, for the first time in 425 years.
On this occasion he will be escorted by the Band of The Parachute Regiment, the Regimental Colour party, Pegasus the Regimental Mascot, and soldiers and armoured combat vehicles. St George himself will be mounted on horseback with the legendary figures of the King and his daughter, and the lamb led by a maiden.

Happy St Georges Day to all. Letās start re claiming the flag so tainted by the BNP and other sundry yobs.

Yes, getting lathered on Bombadier sounds a very noble and English thing to do. The sun is out so one could even take on the lobster pink as is our birthright!!!
