Thread Name: St George's Day greetings one and all.
Subject: RE: St George's Day greetings one and all.
Oh dear, commercialism ( and a bit of chauvisinism) begins to be felt. Georges day has never been a day of the folk, May day and whitsun yes.
No traditions ( please don't mention pace egg and other plays, nothing to do with april 23rd)or songs or anything. Hate that people try to equate it with Paddy's day. That IS the Irish folk day. Scots, who cares about St.Andrews day when they have real traditions on Burn's night and Hogmonnay?
