I would say so, then again I've never been off planet or the Seychelles..... yet. couple more hubcaps and I'll have enough for me flight and a shell suit.
Apologies for the typo joke, it was a bit petty St. Patricks Day is celebrated a lot in America too. This is Chicago on st. Paddy's day... please log in to view this image I assume that there's public funding in that, althought knowing America there's probably a sponsor involved too. I don't know the ins and outs of what lengths my council go to celebrate St. George's Day but it's certainly celebrated in my area. I say "celebrated" but it pretty much involves pubs putting English flags here and there and trying to cash in on what is largely an excuse to get pissed, like St. Paddy's. There are also memorial days for wars, focussing on British armed forces and their roles. My point about there not really needing to be a specific Straight British Day which represents the majority is that our culture, customs and preferences are already everywhere. If you're getting married then you can go to any CofE church with any vicar and there's going to be no problem with marrying you. Going out for a meal? Well you can go to even an Indian restaurant and find a menu of dishes loosely based on Indian cuisine that have been adapted to British tasted. Want a drink to wash down your Ruby? Well the Indian restaurant has a wide range of lagers, spirits and wines, that's something the British have added. Want to go to a pub afterwards? Well there's loads to choose from and they all serve a "traditional pub menu"(quality will vary) with a choice of traditional British Ales, popular lagers and other drinks. Even if we had a Straight British Day then what would change? Maybe we could all wear novelty flatcaps for the day but everything is already set up for the British straight man. Maybe it's taken for granted so we don't notice it but the majority are catered for very well as it is.
All I'm seeing is a canal with synthetic green dye poured in it. What kind of sad turd celebtates **** like that?
As an Englishman I like to celebrate many days alongside traditions like Christmas and Easter and St George's Day. We have Shrove Tuesday, May Day, Yorkshire Day, Battle of Britain Day, St Crispins Day (Agincourt), Trafalgar Day, Guy Fawkes Night and Armistice Day. We have absolutely no reason to celebrate St Patricks Day or St Andrew, St David, Ramadam, Diwali or Yom Kippur for that matter.
Yes Hessle Feast, Harvest Festival, Freedom Festival, Folk Festivals, some people think its only paddies and gays that can do these things, rainbow laces FFS.
