R1evad Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 HAPPY ST.GEORGES DAY On the basis the UK is made up from a collection of countries, which all have their own patron saint, why don`t we all have our saints day as a bank holiday? After all, there are already different bank holiday practices around the Kingdom so why not for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRJ999 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I think that, in the main, you'll be preaching to the converted. Among the English, of course. It seems odd that the Media once proudly recognized At Andrew's, St David's and (particularly) St Patrick's Days yet got all self-conscious when celebrating anything English. Too Imperialist, probably. Having said that, I wonder if it's becoming a little less unfashionable nowadays (as opposed to being fashionable; that would never do ). Sadly, you're generally not allowed to put your nationality as English in many places; all forms I've filled in in the last few years have only recognized British/UK. Still; you've got my vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some froms I have filled out do not ask for you to tick a box but right down whta Natinality you are. I always put English.
