O/T St George's Day

[jakethemiller]

Happy St George's Day to you all, not celebrated enough by the English generally IMO.
Interesting fact William Shakespeare one of England most famous sons was born and died on Sr George's Day, different years of course.

St George was Greek and is famous for fighting Dragons which never even existed.

Even Ethiopia claims him as a patron just like we do.

If we're into having meaningless days celebrating fictional histories, lets at least have an English one.

Harry Potter day perhaps?

A prime example of early immigration where we let anyone in, who takes over a day in the calendar, and no one wishes to respect or follow. You couldn’t make it up and just have to laugh at this post.

Happy St George’s day to all those who call themselves Englishmen and Women.

Replace it with National NHS day

Would be a good day for a turnaround in cases of the pandemic reducing, with true British spirit beating the dreaded virus.
Led by our brilliant NHS staff & others who don't get a mention.

Harry Potter Day

seems a good idea

today is also the start of Ramadan which will present it's own challenge to social distancing.

but hey, Harry Potter, peace be upon him.

. It's one day in the year when we can celebrate being English. What's wrong with that. Happy Saint Georges birthday to all.
