Yeah I have to say I don't believe shit like this at all 

[foxy boxing]

we should all be proud and celebrate St George's day and be able to fly the English flag proudly without being racist or offensive to other faiths and cultures.

[fazzyfox]

I might pop down to my local pub to celebrate the day, appropriately there's likely to be plenty of dragons and sharp weapons there.

[Sharpe's Fox]

Having rice pudding to celebrate St George was from the Middle East. Nothing says England like taking something foreign and boiling it in milk for two hours.

It's carnage down here, rozzers going pub to pub beating up anyone drinking Bombardier.  What has this country come to.

Just another day to me. Why don't we celebrate Human Race Day and piss off a few Martians.

I am not sure how English I am. I have probably got some Roman, Viking, Danish and Norman genes in me.

I did have a roast pork dinner today so I can say I did my bit.

Is he wrong though?

No. But why do all these people only do this today?

 

You never get all this in March with folk desperate to shout from the rooftops about how St Patrick wasn't Irish.

[Rincewind]

ST Patrick's Day is a piss up. St Georges Day is Morris dancers hitting each other with flowers.

Which one do you prefer? To me its a no brainer.

Think you might have had a few and confused it with Leicester pride.

[Jattdogg]

Bin off st Georges  day.  May 2nd should be Leicester City Football Club Day, surely the most important British  holiday ever.

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

Had a St. George's Day card from my son, as I do every year, a roast beef dinner (always on the April 23rd menue), and washed down with St. George real ale. Lovely!

I'm proud to be English, but also British, a UK citizen, European (not politically) and a person who has been fortunate to have traveled and met many wonderful people.

[bovril]

I like being British. It's a beautiful country and I've had more opportunities in life than most thanks to my nationality. Still, I'm not sure I could ever be 'proud' or 'ashamed' of my nationality when it is essentially just a twist of fate.

[Webbo]

I'm proud of Britain/England rather than proud of being British/English. The latter is just an accident of birth.

This/this.

 

You can be proud (and also critical) of the place of your birth but why be of your nationality when it is just chance?

Semantics, we are saying the same thing.  I am proud to be able to call these places home.

You could look at it like that or, you could have 364 piss up days and 1 day watching morris dancers hitting each other with flowers whilst you detox.
