Will do, John...thank you.

My point, though, was the lack of general acknowledgment across the society as a whole. I note another thread about what people are doing for St George's Day...plenty of things going on - but it's all niche stuff. (I'd expect English folkies to organise/particpate/spectae in folkie type activities. but that's all there seems to be.)
I asked a few students I work with about St George...they had no clue. Nor - perhaps more importantly - had they any opinion about having a national day. Seems irrelevant to the English sense of identity...whereas in other countries of these islands, it seems to have generic appeal and something of relevance for many strands of society.
Cheers!
