Good morning and a happy St George's Day one and all. Don't think us English celebrate quite like the Irish do on St Patrick's Day though.

Happy St George's day and I think that you're right tintin, us English don't celebrate St George's Day as it should be celebrated.

My daughters already had a moan in her local Co-Op. no St Georges merchandise at all despite having reams of St Patricks Day stuff, flags, hair tyes, cards etc. Not one St G it for sale. What do we expect in London?

Unfortunately the England flag has become associated with racism and football hooliganism over the years.

I think if more people flew the England flag it might lose some of that reputation. I have a flagpole (mast off a boat) in my garden but only have a union flag not an england one or I would fly it. Perhaps & will get one for next year.

Happy St.George Day...even tho I'm Scottish.

We have the same lack of interest in St. Andrew:|

In the communal garden of my flat there is a big flagpole.  Its normally flying a large Union Jack but today its been changed for the flag of St George.  I think the man upstairs must put it up.  I am used to seeing the flag up now but when I first moved in I thought it a bit odd which made me think more about why I thought it odd and its probably to do with the racist connections over the years 😞
