At least my local pub gives St Georges day huge support. Whole pub was decked out with St George flags and paraphernalia yesterday with all sorts of fund raising events with proceeds going to British Legion, and beer at £1.50 a pint. :y [smiley=beer.gif]

About time they made it a bank holiday!! ;)

My Dragon is Scots, will they still accept her or is St George not fussy what nationality he gets on the end of his lance?

Got to agree with you there Pete. Such a big thing is made of St Patricks day but our very own patron saint seems to get a lot less attention. :'(

Should be a bank holiday tbh.

I would show more enthusiasm, but I just can't. I don't know what I'm celebrating really and all th cockney music does me head in.
