It's St George's Day for England not Britain 
To be fair the whole thing is so low key I didn't realise it was here until I saw his thread. Personally I think there's nothing wrong with being proud of your nation, your heritage and all that but for some reason in England it's construed as a bad thing. Wales, Ireland and Scotksnd its lauded, strange and sad.

And Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Georgia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Republic of Macedonia.
'El Khader' is widely celebrated. It's not St George's Day for England, it's St George's Day for St George.
Not at all. I agree, the problem is it's heavily criticised in the other nations equally at the same time. This country doesn't know how to view itself.
That's a gentlemanly way of saying 'answers on the back of a postcard please'..

I had forgotten that it was the day commemorating the patron saint of England (among other places), is that why I was getting strange looks while walking through town with a welsh flag as a cape?

I agree with this whole heartedly and it's a shame.
I'm not pretending to know the answer but being ashamed or embarrased of being part of the country, when most of the rest of the world love it (IMO from speaking to people on my travels.)
More to do with the principle of the fact that you were wearing a make-shift cape.

I quite liked that particular Picture, I shoot an English Longbow and it Tied in with the look of that period more than the standard white background/ red cross

Hardly make-shift, the eyelets work could have been designed for this purpose, fastened with the ends of my scouting neckerchief. Complete the look with a purple bow tie, 3d glasses and a a sad gap where the bunny ears should have been
and you have the height of fashion. Perfectly normal.
