damien666 Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Well its Paddy's day today and town is rammed with people drinking, in fancy dress, face paint, special stalls etc........ All Mainly English people. Yet on St.Georges day theres hardly anything! We get done for flaunting our flag, theres nothing goes off in town in comparison.....its a disgrace! So many English people celebrate an Irish celebration and do nothing for their own. Shameful.
samshe Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 Shameful? Hardly mate. What is the point in having a day to celebrate a Turkish man who is probably fictional that killed a creature from a fairytale? It is like celebrating Skywalker for killing Janna the hut. Get over it mate.
HeadingNorth Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 St. Patrick's Day has always been, and still is, an important day for the Irish; St. George's Day has held no significance in England since 1553.

There really isn't anything stopping you.
Rich Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 That and the fact that the PC Brigade thinks that if we make a big thing of an English Saint's Day (who was actually Welsh), it'll upset all the Foreigners.
alchemist Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 St Patricks day is only important because he drank lots of guiness St George went that up on Tetleys

It should be important to the Irish. However holds no significance to the English yet they still celebrate it. Idiots.

muddycoffee Posted March 17, 2012 Posted March 17, 2012 St. Patrick's Day has always been, and still is, an important day for the Irish; St. George's Day has held no significance in England since 1553. All this is extremely recent. I'm sure we have only seen this kind of plastic paddy day since about 8 or ten years ago. It definitely never happened when I was in my student days. Looks to me like an imported marketing gimick from USA where (according to the simpsons) they have irish parades and green guinness.
