Vote For St George's Day

[lexus boy]

Vote for St. Georges day

vote is to make into a public holiday...yes another one.

St Georges

[Mr Morse]

There are a bunch of public holidays this time of year - Easter, May Day, Spring Bank holiday...

Should be October 21st - Trafalgar Day

2005 is the 200th anniversary of the death of the World's greatest naval commander and victory over the combined French and Spanish fleets.

[lexus boy]

think they should get rid of some of the other random bank holidays and replace with meaningful holidays

Exactly - but no one will take the plunge for 21st October because the French will start throwing their toys out of the pram :winky:

we aren't allowed to have public holidays that have anythingto do with our imperial past as this would be politically incorrect although i have heard that they are going to have a national terrorist day in way of apologising for all the bombings we've suffered (bitter me never)

i wonder how many people know when st georges day is

the less bank holidays the better i reckon

[mudzs]

i dont even now what it is for let alone when

[lexus boy]

Its our only Day of National Celebration, most are christian festivals.

but with a growing number of aethists i dont see how this is relevant

Don't be like that.... The French gave us one of the best driving films ever!

Taxi, of course (Please don't get it confused with the piece of Merde that came out of America by the same name staring Queen of Sheba, or whatever she is called)
