Thanks for reminding me! Isn't it strange how this day is largely forgotten by the English? It's a shame we aren't as a nation half as patriotic as the Welsh, Irish or Scottish.

Hope to get down the pub for a few then after work. We're so predictable us British, aren't we, but we love it.
There's a girl I want to ask out where I work, may be a good excuse.

Thanks guys - did you know Henry the 8th tried to stop this festival. I feel it is such a shame that it is forgotten. I for one booked the day off, my company is quite patriotic (not patriotic enough to let its staff have the day off, they are wearing red, white and blue instead) we have a flag outside the front door, one large one hanging from the back window and one from the side window, I note also a few of the neighbours have done the same. Why is this not a national holiday like Ireland, Scotland and Wales do ?
Has anyone also noticed in their area that British/English flags are appearing in peoples gardens or to the front of their houses, I have even noticed in some of the villages that people have actually bought flagpoles and fly their flags with pride. I am sorry but I am proud to be English/Welsh and I WILL fly my flag, never have I said that the foreigners cant fly theirs, so why am I classed as racist if I fly mine ?
ALSO while on the point - its a good time for a good ol' english p*ss up !!!! Have one on us everyone and we will do the same !!!! BE PROUD OF YOUR HERITAGE WHEREVER YOU ARE FROM WETHER IT BE ENGLAND, USA, FRANCE, GERMANY, SPAIN AND FLY YOUR FLAG WITH PRIDE !!!
On my way to buy my flag pole as we speak !

something i noticed before i joined the JWs was that every named day of the year was pagan apart for St Georges day. maybe thats why nobody bothered with it in the past.
