If, on March 1st, I forget and don't wear a Welsh emblem on my lapel, by noon I'll have someone asking me why not.
I don't think celebrating being English makes you racist.
Carl Fogerty always carried an English flag on his lap of honour and would turn away from people who offered him a Union flag. Why not? There's nothing wrong with pride in your country as long as that's what it is and not an excuse for xenophobia.
i'm going out for beer later
Later, mate.
Me mams lost her flag already by opening the car window when driving :pinch:
later yeah, not now :unsure:
:naughty:
but srly. i'm always up for a pissup, but what's a saints day got to do with anything? :unsure:
..hit the nail on the head :)Quote:

If I remember correctly, and I do when arses are involved, they were Union Flag pants, not Engerland pants. :smartass:Quote:

It's a day without identity. Fact.
St. Davids day, everyone wears daffodils.
St. Patricks day, everyone wears guinness.
St. Andrews day, everyone wears thistles.
St. Georges day....????
Happy Engerlander day!
Dodgy Saint and definitely a dodgy story but what the hell...Patrick was a bit of a sod really and Andrew never got anywhere near Scotland - David is the only one that has real nationalist credibility and some historians think that is deliberate 11th century propaganda, due to Norman encroachment onto Welsh territory. :ph34r:
However, nowt wrong with a day to celebrate just being there.
