Being proud to be English doesn't mean you are jingoistic and xenophobic, but is something to celebrate on the day of our patron saint.
Have a good day, everyone!

To some people on here it will mean just that. We should be celebrating our nation more, be English and Proud!Being proud to be English doesn't mean you are jingoistic and xenophobic, but is something to celebrate on the day of our patron saint.

But each and every to their own.
It’s quite common in other countries and the UK has some of the least public holidays in Europe, if not the least.Celebrating patron saints is for schoolchildren and Americans really
Australia Day is pretty big, when I was there over 20 years ago it was brilliant. A public holiday tooEnglish and British have become weirdly more interchangeable over the past few years. I’d say I was the former (and proud of it!) but the distinction seems less important than ever.

For the record I’m definitely up for more holidays (although I’m usually working on them anyway)It’s quite common in other countries and the UK has some of the least public holidays in Europe, if not the least.
I think it's the same for all countries that have some kind of national day to celebrate their independence. Bastille Day is mahoosive in France (independence from being a Monarchy). Our problem is that we have never really had anything to become independent from! November 5th was just a failed attempt to overthrow Parliament, but that's the closest we come to a day of celebration.Australia Day is pretty big, when I was there over 20 years ago it was brilliant.

Of ...?5pm annoucement?
You can fuck right off with your community spiritNothing wrong with celebrating St George's Day, like Welsh, Scot's and Irish do.
Focussing on the positive things England offers... stability, peace, reconciliation, respect, tolerance, warmth, unity, love and free speech/right to protest.
Maybe it's about family and friend get togethers, sport/footy, pub/beer, pop music, humour, creativity, lierature, fashion, arts, film/tv/gaming, finance, gardening, DIY, pets, food, BBQs, volunteers, parish councils, religious tolerance, community spirit, country walks, landscapes, heritage, architecture, seaside, national parks, local markets etc.etc.etc.)
I've no time for those who use St George's Day as a stick to pathetically claim English are discriminated against by other neighbouring countries and also we are being invaded and blah blah blah. which is not a celebration, just a way of sense of persecution, paranoia and stoking culture wars.
It's what the poster on here "St George" posts when he pretends he has some ITK info.Of ...?
Sorry - passed me by! My bad!It's what the poster on here "St George" posts when he pretends he has some ITK info.
It's was just a jokey comment.
st georges day ant till next monday
Screw the CofE. It's today.Today is not St George's Day despite what your calendar might tell you
St George's Day is usually celebrated on April 23 each year, but the Church of England put back the date to Monday April 28 as no saint's day can take place in the week before or after Easter.metro.co.uk
Did not realise you were right, moved to Monday because of the date of Easter
no, no it's not it's MondayScrew the CofE. It's today.
Just out of interest why isn’t it a bank holiday?
