As an Englishman living in Scotland there was not a lot of mentions regarding St Georges day, but why should there be? It does not seem that the English living in England bother to much about it or celebrate it.
It got me thinking, up here St Andrews day is a reason to have the extra glass of whisky, but, Burn's Night, now that's a real celebration, reading aloud the poems, a spot of haggis washed down with a glass or two.
How about a Churchill Night? A new English celebration, listening to readings of the great speeches, "Fight them on the beaches", a few beers and a large cigar.
No. it won't work, smoking's banned. Oh well, it was just an idea.
