st georges day

[dustiestrat]

came to thinking over the weekend after seeing the parades put on for the irish and couldnt help getting annoyed about how rubbish this country is that we all celebrate st paddys day yet when comes to our own patrion st it just passes by without anyone realising it doesnt no one care why cant the english have a **** up on st georges day and parades in the st just makes me feel ashamed to be english that we have to celebrate other ppl holidays instead of our own .

sorry just really got to me needede somewhere to vent.

No swearing

Obviously its not celebrated in Croydon, but you sure know its St. Georges day in Cambridge.

What really annoys me is that Ireland get a days holiday for St. Patricks day, Scotland for St. Andrews day, don't know about Wales but we don't!

thats what i'm saying it doesnt benefit to be english this once great country because it was a great country has gone to the dogs(immigrants) its about time the goverment started doin gthings for its ppl rather than everyone else i mean how hard is it to turn around and say from now on all english can have st georges day of a small thing like that would go such along way .

i've never seen a pub in croydon celebrating st goerges day i'd be in there if was but there all happy to jump on paddys day in recent day s really have started to feel ashamed about being enlgish.

st patrick was originally welsh.

Before acknowledging a saints day for our country I'd like to see a decent saint.

I have no allegiance to a patron saint that a) wasn't born here, b) didn't live here and c) isn't exclusively ours.

just refering to that thatsa all the paddys dont have problem with a welsh born saint i dont care where georgy boy was born fact is he's saint of england yet has no reconition yet there'll happily organise parades through streets of london for a irish one .

so if a beer company tried to back saint georges day you reckon we'd get all the perks off paddy day doubt it it'll be stopped after a year because so ethnic would complain and goverment would listen to them rqather than its own ppl .

yeah call me paranoid if you want but its my opinion in my area coucil banned anything remotley religeous in its shopping centres during xmas and the local school were told not to do nativity plays because ethnic complained that we shouldnt flaunt it in front of them but to me its more tradition yet they say they didnt want to see it and they got what they wanted .
