Thread Name: Happy St Georges day
Subject: RE: Happy St Georges day
So why are the pubs not full of BS Brits singing traditional songs and quaffing pints of English Ale, wearing amusing tankard shaped foam hats and taking 2 days off work to recover then?

Not a single rose did I see on the tube today, not another dragon, nor a single English flag. Didn't even get a biscuit and a cup of tea.

The Government won't give us a Bank Holiday to celebrate because St George's day falls so close to the May day Bank Holiday, and in most years, Easter. How about giving us a day off in that long dreary holidayless period between August Bank Holiday and Christmas?
