Three years ago I was told by the landlord of the pub where I present one of my quiz nights that I had to make an announcement before my St George's Day special. The brewery stated that the landlord must not be seen to be specific to any one country so the St George's Day Quiz had to be my responsibility in order to exempt him.
It just seems odd that 17th March was another matter entirely as far as the money-grubbing brewery and sales of Guinness were concerned.
