Default Happy St Georges Day!
Not that anyone cares really and that includes almost the whole of England!. I mean not many people know that 23 April is St Georges Day. We don't celebrate it like St Patricks Day or 4th July. However, it would be nice to have an official day off work if it falls on a week day!

Thats OK, I'm willing to bet that there is a greater proportion of English who at least know who St George is, the average NZer wouldn't know NZ even HAD a patron saint, let alone who he is. St Francis Xavier BTW.
Not much mention about St George at this end of the world, with ANZAC Day on 25th April, that gets all the coverage in the week leading up.

happy St Georges Day Back!


was brassed off earlier before as they was setting up the union flag for the royal wedding in the town centre not setting up the cross of st george ... dont get me wrong it will be a decent day as we are off work but i think st georges day should be regarded as the same as st Patricks and davids day.

But the english hard done by again lol

29 and like this! lol
