"why is today not a public holiday ? xxx not sure i would want it has a holiday ...would prefer something like ....remeberance day where we remember all the onces who have gone before ....family friends soldiers etc etc ...St Georges seems so impersonal .." How can the celebration of our Patron Saint seem impersonal? It's highly personal to every Englishman or woman who loves England, whereas some of those that have laid down their lives in defence of our realm were not English, in fact. That doesn't mean to belittle the sacrifice they made but their own countries of birth have their own special days - St George's Day is for the English and I like the fact that nobody else from any other country on the globe can feel that they should celebrate it with us - it's ours and ours alone. God Bless the Queen and Happy St George's Day to all English people everywhere! ** this was my son's original due date but he couldn't wait this long and came early but I'm still gonna celebrate it as though this is his unofficial birthday lol | |||

If we were to have a patron saint who was British closer is probably st patrick ,,,so if St George is a symbol to celebrate the country ,personally i i could think of loads of better ones Real English men who have given there lives for this country over the centuries its why i would prefer a celebration of the country to be a rememberance day .It was not fictional dragon slayers who built this country to what it is. it was real people who often paid with there blood or commitment .... just my thoughts have the dragon slayer if you want him ... but i dont need mythical fantasies to celebrate with pride being an Englishman.
