OldhamSheridan Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Wow, a remarkable turn into an almost offensive thread. England is a hole? When did this happen? When you went on your holibobs to the arseend of Spain and proclaimed it better? We might not have the best of weather, but we have an absolutely great Country. Take away temporary politics, which is probably what you are on about, and look at the place, its history and the liberty you have here and you'll realise there isn't much better in the World.

davegtt Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Come on children, calm down. Personally I dont see why it should be a public holiday, especially as the fact that the majority of the English cant even remember the date of St Georges day. I still celebrate it every year though. Even managed to get Swing Low and God Save the Queen on full blast in the local last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i wake up I have a fantastic view of mountains and sea...oh, sorry, i live in Wales!! He wasn't Turkish or Lebanese....he was around before those countries were even thought of. He was apparently born in that area (if he even existed at all) and was a crusader I believe. There's loads on the Internet about him if you're really interested. People get too hung up on where St George supposedly hailed from. I suspect the reason he was chosen as our Saint was not because of where he was from, but because to the people of the time he signified bravery and courage and was a good christian....which at the time was probably how the good people of this country thought a person should be....hundreds of years down the line and things have changed....we don't applaud people who slaughter and crusade about any more, and nor should we. Each of us have our own ideas about what signifies Englishness - St George and the English flag to me are nothing more than symbols. Mr. George himself and what he did or didn't do, and where he came from is totally irrelevant. St George's day for me is simply a celebration of England and its people. Take a look at most Patron Saints and you will see they rarely hail from the countries they...erm..serve (?). They nearly all have daft myths attached to them - does anyone really believe St Patrick banished the snakes from Ireland ?? Do the Irish go on about St Patrick actually not being Irish - apparently he was a Roman-Briton. Why do we English have to go on about it ? This is a great country we live in. By no means perfect, but that's the world we live in. Was great to see the flags up in Royton yesterday - made me very proud! Believe Hollinwood had flags up as well. Anywhere else ?
