Cheers wayneyboy. Job done, I would suggest that it is now likely that our names will appear on a government watch list for having the audacity to agree to such a nationalistic adventure....
Thanks also to Blackburn Raver . |
Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
But it would be a holiday for everyone so how can anyone complain about that?
|
Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
I can!
I am self-employed, and don't get paid if I don't work. |

Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
I agree - lets get rid of this May Day rubbish and replace it with it with St Georges Day; What this nonsense holiday is doing in the English calender, I really do not know. Neverthelless, I'm pretty liberal and I believe that If the commies and the rest of the europhile trash wish to take a day off, then let 'em; without pay, of course.
While we're at it, lets introduce a couple more holidays. Between the end of May and the end of August there is no formal holiday so I suggest we have one in June to celebrate the Queens official birthday or alternatively take a monday off nearest to 18th June, namely Battle of Waterloo day. That will be a nice remiinder for any French slimeball who happens to be in the country on those dates. Similarily, there is nowt between August bank holiday and Christmas so I suggest we have a holiday on the monday nearest to 21st October - Trafalgar Day - once again, just to remind that lot over the channel who won. |

Less - I'm self employed.
That means that I do not have a boss. Holidays are more of an inconvenience at the moment, while I am still building my business |

Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
Did anyone see the news today about Stockport Council banning a trader from giving away red roses on St Georges Day........they say it is because the red rose is a political symbol!
And another council......(.think it might be Liverpool ) are threatening a butcher with fines of £50 for every flag of St George he puts up outside his shop.........and it looked like there were a good number on the lamposts on the road where his shop is. We are not supposed to have any national pride anymore. |

Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
I was driving through Inskip earlier this evening and I saw at least five large Flags of St George and two Union Flags flying......at least four where flying on proper white poles in the front gardens.
It was a excellent sight............. |

IT MAKES ME SICK
certain other religions can place certain symbols and their natinal flag on certain buildings and noone blinks an eye (in a pc way for the sake of being called a racist)...we put up our national flag to celebrate our patron saint and we get told to take them down ....well i say ....BO****KS to them ...im flying my flag with pride ... |

Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
it was on the tele tonight that you cant wear a red rose ,(WHO SAYS I CANT ?on st georges day ,well that is the sort of statement to get folk,s backs up ...i am going to dig out the flag that we hung from the window when it was the world cup.and hang it out again.
by the way i signed the petition on burnley web too ,,,and i started a gaming thread ,about all things english ,no offence to irish ,scottish or welch.,so i will be first to be clapped in irons.... |
Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
How can they ban wearing a red rose on St George's day if it's permitted to wear shamrock on St. Patrick's? A red rose is the symbol of love every bit as much as a poilitical symbol. Load of asterisks to the PC brigade. Let them try and stop me. They'll be banning poppies on Remembrance Day next.
|
Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
I always take the day off on my birthday. You're quite welcome to all join me if you want to make it a national holiday.

Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
I think most of the population feel the same Cashman, but who is going to stand up and bring this pc s*** to an end. Papers, politicians, our schools? All of them are to s*** scared to act against the Whitehall mandarins and liberal social policy ****ers that infest our higher colleges and universities. We can only hope that the generation we have given life too will feel like us and act to change the system from within.

Article in today's Daily Express about a guy who has been told to take his flags down outside his business because they distract the traffic. Apparently it's rubbish because they didn't tell anyone to take the St Patricks day flags down.
|
Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
There is nothing racist about having pride in YOUR country!:) Being told that it is wrong is racist! I've no problem with others flying flags etc on their day! So why can't we?:(
If you have them get your little car flags etc out! They can't do us all!:) |
Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
Think I said on another thread earlier that there is a shop around the corner from us where he flies little St George's flags all year along the front of his shop, and a very big one on St George's day, because he's proud to be English. He is actually of Asian origin, but he considers himself English, which is GREAT!
Anyway, where do Labour get off stealing (yes, stealing) the red rose? The red rose has, since about the 1400s been the symbol of Lancashire - why do you think it was called "The War of the Roses"? I wonder if they would have got away with stealing the white rose from Yorkshire? I think we should have an uprising of all us Lancastrians, preferably on St George's Day, and demand that Labour give us back OUR symbol. IT ISN'T THEIRS! |

The Stockport council have relented on their ban......now the trader can give away the red roses with purchases.......Tuebrook have also said that Churchills (the butchers) who put up a whole roadway of flags can keep them up as long as they are flown properly(?!).
Thameside council are going the whole hog and having street entertainment......knights, battles etc..... I wonder if these people have been looking at accyweb. |
Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
So instead of complaining let's start claiming the day back as our own. Let's decide how we're going to celebrate. Screw the bureaucrats and politically correct brigade, let's all be proud of it. So, this is what I plan to do - wear a rose as it's the national flower of England (not because those Labourites stole it), put a flag up above my computer and one in my car, dig out the flag from the world cup and put it in my window and finally, have fish and chips for tea as I consider that to be the English national dish.
What else can we do? |
Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
So, now we have all stated our Opinions and keeping Staggeringmans kind offer in mind, what are the people of Accrington and Accyweb going to do to celebrate St Georges Day. Let’s have some ideas.
|
Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
Well, Stanley are playing Hereford on St. Georges Day so we'll be doing our bit by slaying (oh sorry - playing) the Welsh!!
|
Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
Same as Accymad - off to Hereford to celebrate our first season as a full-time club again...and of course, our patron saint's day!
|
Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
I have only been arrested once in my lifetime and that was in Hereford.

Re: Make St'George's Day a Bank holiday!
I have yet to find anyone locally selling flags. I have a big one left over from the world cup which my lad is going to fly from is bedroom window. On the day itself I will be in Yorkshire doing the Three Peaks hopefully. If the weather is bad I may get over for the stag.
