its hard to celebrate it and not get fired for been drunk ,its a disgrace govenment hasnt realised this and given the british people a day off on their national day.
like somone has said already saint patricks day gets celebrated more but in all fairness unless its somones birthday the majority of people couldnt care less who saint patric is as its merely a good excuse for a booze up and to run around in a silly hat

Not in Canada ... only in the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador, which, by the way, also has a holiday on July 1 - Memorial Day - in memory of the men of the Newfoundland Regiment who fell on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. (Newfoundland, tho', was still part of the Empayah until 1949.) We do, however, have a national holiday on or around May 24 when Canadians drink lots of good strong Canadian beer to celebrate Victoria Day ... and on July 1, Canada Day ... even more drinking, and thanking our lucky stars that we live here and not somewhere else on this screwed up planet.
