Can I take this opportunity to say that I think it's pathetic that St.Georges' Day isn't made more of a fuss about due to fear of upsetting other English nationals. This country is one of the most multi-cultural and tolerant nations in the world, isn't that a great reason to be proud and to celebrate our country?!

I am amazed at how many English people celebrate St.Patrick's Day and also the bombardment from companies cashing in on it telling us to celebrate it eg. Guiness, Jamesons etc. Whilst I bear the Irish no ill will whatsoever (and that goes for all other nations!) I have no inclination to celebrate their patron saints day as it's nothing to do with me as I am not Irish - I see the whole thing as superficial and fake (the whole English celebrating St.Patricks day scenario that is!) I do not need a reason to drink Guiness - thats what weekends are for isn't it?!?!?!

If anyone is offended by an English person (white, black, pink, polka-dot...whatever) celebrating their nation then they are the bigots, not those who are proud to be English. Respect to all humanity from all walks of life whatever your creed and colour, but being proud of your country is not a crime!
