    You forgot Moscow and Catalonia amongst others.

    Let's join the other idiots who dress up in green and celebrate another bloke who wasn't born in their country on St Guinness Day though.

    Only in a way which is non triumphal and respectful of other cultures and their patron saints though.

    Yes, our celebrations aren't compulsory. Unlike a lot of places, some of which laughingly have had .Democratic in their name.

    Do you celebrate St Guinness Day which breweries and councils promote more than St George's Day?

    To be honest the guinness thing has had its day, yes it was an alternative stout, but so corporate. There has been a craft beer revolution in small micro breweries which are the new alternative and today you can choose a fantastic range of English ales to celebrate our national day in the pub without the green envy to corporate paddies day. English and proud.
