[Tony 10]

I've gone for yes too! I want my flag back

I travel a lot. Anyone know where the "Make St Christopher's Day a holiday" link is?

 

PS. A big YES to a day off for good old Georgie!!

[rebel md 10]

Out of curiosity, what does everyone do to celebrate 'St Georges Day' anyway? Is there some kind of carnival or long-standing tradition that we all engage in, or do we just load up on booze and get ******?

 

Dont get me wrong , I'm not against it. hell, I'll vote for St Swithins day, Epiphany, anything that vaguely sounds like an excuse for a national holiday. Canadians celebrate Victoria Day after some old trout who used to be a queen here, and its quite a big thing on their calendar. For some reason, we dont.

Im in and voted YES. While I am here I might as well promote the seemingly lesser known but FAR more important day - Yorkshire Day 1 August

 

Wear your white rose with pride

I've voted Kirky. As soon as it getsp passed you get get me a pint on the bank Holiday

 

We do we do to celebrate other bank holidays? Whatever we wnat. It's the principal of it all.

 

Hopefully the country will make a day of it, fly the flags, pubs have specail days. Maybe the Govt can pass a law to make celebrations mandatory

 

Whenever i go down town i see St Patricks day celebrated but rarely St Georges day

[scout 10]

The scout association do actually celebrate St. George's Day every year, but this is obviously not enough. I asked my local landlady (on St.Patricks day) if they were going to celebrate St. George's day - she didn't even know when it was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Andy78 10]

All we need now is a national Beer to back the event. Carling need not apply

[Jake01 10]

Me done me bit.... 654238 say yes so far.

[Booch 10]

This should've been sorted years ago....!

 

I've lost count at how many day's leave I've booked off for this day...!

I think warm flat beer should play a major part in events (I voted yes BTW).

 

I also think every village, town an city should then hold a St.George's day pageant like Salisbury.

[Bladesman 10]

Yep i voted its definatly worth it.
