MrsRam Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 St. Patricks is in Ireland I think. They certainly make more of it than we do. ETA; Looks like they both are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsRam Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Saint Patrick's Day is a public holiday in the Republic of Ireland,[size=2][9][/size] Northern Ireland,[size=2][[/size] In 2006, the Scottish Parliament designated St Andrew's Day as an official bank holiday.

uttoxram75 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 It'll never be a bank holiday because its too close to Easter and the May/Whit bank holidays. It'd cost business too much. We should have picked a saint whose day is in October/November! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyndsey Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 i'd change mayday myself why can't we have Julyday or Febday?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Its not a matter of changing one. We are owed one (we have fewer bank hols than most euro countries), there has been talk in the past of having a Trafalgar day (Oct 21st) as a new bank holiday.

MuespachRam Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Of course it should be a bank holiday, but it never will be. I always take the day off work and have a little celebration all of my own. As for St Patricks day and St Andrews day etc, I dispise everythign about them, and would rather have my teeth pulled out than have a pint of that black sludge they serve......just ask my wife....I met her in an Irish bar on St Patricks day....surely that is a sign that it is evil...? haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRamFan Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 St George, patron saint to 18 countries, and never had been to most including ours, we need a new saint, and a bank holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be toasting my Englishness today as I do too every year. Happy St Georges folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd have to change our flag then, its not called Saint George's cross for nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a little more to it that just the name: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_George%27s_Cross We wouldn't have to change the flag, however I doubt the saint would be changed either, so we are stuck with it.
