Saint Georges Day.

Its ST. GEORGES DAY today, our national day. Does anyone think it should be a national holiday?

Wasn't St George allegedly Turkish?

[pusskin]

yes, make it a national holiday, its Mr P's Birthday today!!!!

[RATTER15]

I'm working tonight OK!!!

[1ozzy]

If it were up to me I would declare a public holiday called Mr P day ;-)

[RATTER15]

Oh, and apparently he was Syrian, not Italian!!

St David is the only patron saint actually born and bred in the country he represents.

[mccfluff]

the thought of a turkish/syrian (possibly born a muslim) english patron saint just really tickles me

[retrocop]

Well that removes the racist label of us English then. :-)

Don't care, I am retired, all national holidays mean to me is that I stay home because everywhere is so crowded.

Yes it should be a national holiday, shame it's not as much celebrated as our neighbours tent to do.

Emily Thornberry says, 'Shut it, you oiks!'
However, poll in the Telegraph, 85% in favour of Bank Holiday. Have they got one in the Guardian?

[Buenchico]

Dragons are unfairly persecuted; they're just as lovely as 'cuddlier' forms of wildlife and I thoroughly object to celebrating someone who killed one.

Leave our dragons alone!

...said the Welshman. ;-)

Trafalgar day sounds like a good idea to me.
