I for one will be sticking a massive St George Flag (made in China of course) on my Japanese car, then celebrating the life of a Roman soldier who was born in Turkey to a Palestinian mother before slaying a crocodile, later dying and being entombed in Israel and made the patron saint of such places as Aragon, Catalonia, England, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, and Russia, as well as the cities of Amersfoort, Beirut, Bteghrine, Cáceres, Ferrara, Freiburg, Genoa, Ljubljana, Gozo, Pomorie, Qormi, Lod and Moscow.
A true symbol of Englishness (or Anglo or even Angles, a Germanic people originating in the north German peninsula of Angeln if you wish to take it back far enough) and anyone who argues about it is an unpatriotic ne'er do well.
On the other hand I might just rather celebrate the life of Barnes Wallis instead, at least he was English and pulled us out the crap.
On a
slightly more serious note, the only problem I have with St George day is the sheer number of people whining like a jet turbine about people not celebrating it, sheesh, the only reason that St Patrick's day is so big is because Guinness promotes it to sell peeve.
Get on and do it and stop whining like gurls.
