Who is holding it against you? Do what you want - but there is a reason why St Georges Day isn't as popular as St Patricks Day in Ireland.

I don't think most English people will care - even the ones who are C of E.

Saying that - before the reformation - St Georges Day was a massive day in the English calendar.

So we're in agreement it's a day to celebrate and be proud

Well, it makes a change from the usual rhetoric that its been banned for some reason - hope you find someone else to celebrate it.

Happy St George‘s guys!

Thought this thread was going to be about George Groves coming out of retirement.

Happy St. George 's Day!

He was a turk wasn't he.

Yes, though St Patrick was born in Britain and St Andrew was born in Israel.

George was a massive liar though, he went round telling everyone he slayed a dragon, which have never actually existed.

Should be celebrated. I'm off to put bells on me ankles and put damp clothes on the rotating maypole that is a dryer line.

I've slayed one or two myself
Didn't know St Andrew was Israeli mind.
Every days a school day

Any excuse to get wankered is a good excuse.

Happy Saint George's Day indeed.

For the first time ever I'm down with it. Happy St. George's day, one and all! Beers for everybody!

BBC slags. Do a full part on the news about Ramadan and not a word about it being St. George’s day.

It’s political correctness gone mad

St George wouldn't be let in after Brexit

I think he was a Greek who went to work for the Romans. The dragon thing was supposed to happen in Africa. I think George is the saint of many countries! He wouldn't have voted for Brexit!
