Any events or celebrations up this way for it? Or is that just for St Paddys?

Fancy a day off for it.

Just for that mate.

95% of the populace wouldn't know who our patron saint is, never mind the day.

But they all know that on 17 March you were a big daft hat and drink Guinness...

all banter aside - I just can't get my head around how any country can get into a position where their official flag can be deemed offensive to a section of people in that same country, and anyone actually listen. Total F'ing madness.

St George was from Greece

Syria. But still not English and never set foot in the country.
Ridiculous choice for a Saint

I'm afraid that's what happens when hard line racists get hold of it and make it more about them than about the flag.

The same Yanks that celebrate St Paddy's more than the Irish?

Well, how about that!
Either way, it's a bollocks choice.

Can anyone remember who it was before it was changed to St George?
