St George's Day in Sheffield

[Clown Shoes 10]

YOU SAID.....

 

Well that is because in England, we are far more refined than the Irish. The only reason Guinness is the driving force behind St Patricks Day is because the Irish were going to get fall over drunk on that day anyway and couldn't think of anything better to do, it was the first time they had an actual excuse to drink for 24 hours and fight each other.

 

But you dont think thats offensive cause your parents are Irish?

Well I did provide a link of proof but for some reason the mods deleted it. I think they want us to keep to the discussion about St George's day. What can I do, my hands are tied.

So what do you think a national St Georges Day would involve?

 

Village fates, morris dancing & tiddly winks?

You just described my childhood, oh such joy.

 

I should think it would involve, a lovely church service in the morning, a plentiful feast in the afternoon with morris dancing and cricket, in the evening, a Shakespearean play. Wonderful and dignified don't you think.

Well good luck to you......i'm sure it happens in places where its ok to marry your cousin but town centres all over the country will involve all day drinking and the occasional anti social behavior
