cidercity1987 Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 voted its my birthday that day so it bloody well should be a bank holiday! My birthday is the day before, so it'd be very handy for sleeping off hangovers.Aside from that, it's a shame that St Georges Day isn't celebrated in the way St Davids Day, Paddys Day, etc are.

RedM Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 I've never been able to figure out why St Georges Day isn't celebrated widely or a National holiday. Years ago we had the opportunity when we got an extra Bank Holiday, but we got May Day???!!!Sadly I think we have absolutly no chance of reclaiming St George, purely due to the fact that we wouldn't want to risk causing offence to minorities. Makes me mad it really does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorset_Cider Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 Voted for it but........ could we move it to somewhen when it might be a bit warmer?It's all a bit hit and miss regarding the weather........ as are most of our bank holidays?

Makes me mad it really does.WE got May Day, cos its in line wi the rest of the World havin the day off. (Can have business losing out can we?)As to having a Public Holiday- not sure but I don't think the Jocks have St Andrews Day off, and the dai bachs don't have St Davids Day off do they?. Only the Irish have a day off. Better Still have 11/11 off like they do in France & Belgium, or 8/5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
