Less time at work is fine by me!

Seriously though, why isn't St.George's day a public holiday? The Irish have a day off on their patrons saints day so why not us. Personally speaking the ideology behind it means more to me than the ideology behind Easter and Christmas - I don't believe in religion but I know I'm English! Let's have a public holiday and schedule footy matches for that day also - a celebration of being English exemplified by a celebration of our national sport!
