What has happened to English patriotism?
Many go daft for St Patrick’s day but that’s just an excuse for a piss up.
Am I right in thinking he was originally from Turkey? Maybe that’s it. We should all go out and have a large kebab to celebrate. Seriously though I recall as a kid it being vigorously celebrated in junior school, how times have sadly changed.
Wonder they haven't tried to ban it! Englishman, Scotsman & Irishman talking Englishman said we called our son George cause he was born on St George's day. Scotsman said we called our son Andrew cause he was born on St Andrew's day. Irishman said now there's a coincidence I can't wait to get home & tell our Pancake 😷
Isn't it a sad situation when we have to be careful what we say, do and also what we appear to celebrate, for fear of upsetting someone or, more realistically, upsetting someone else who easily gets "upset" on someone else's behalf (who possibly couldn't give a toss anyway?).
watch out gru, for accusations of stereotyping.............even though it was funny
I don’t bother on here, too many ****ers but I did on fb
St George wasn't from England but St Patrick wasn't from Ireland either.
St Alban would be a more appropriate patron saint for England though.

More to the point, where was the Dragon from?
