St George,s day.

It was mentioned on Heart radio in Kent this morning.They also mentioned another annoying thing, England doesn't really have an anthem. Scotland, Wales and N Ireland do, but the English seem to use god save the queen, which is more of a UK anthem IMHO :|

Maybe we'll sort something after Brexit.
We need one though. Any one got suggestions?

Yes, but that's why it's probably true!

I'm sure the English celebrate St Paddy's Day more than St. George's - which is pretty sad. :?

As for an English national anthem I'd be happy to stick with "God Save The Queen" - only the Sex Pistols version! :lol:

I'm old enough to remember that version.
More "In the city" for me though. Good old days.... :rofl:

Not that I’m religious but it’s got to be Jerusalem, great tune and one that really stirs the emotions!

No, it really doesn't want to be that - it's the anthem of the Women's Institute FFS! :headbang:

Well maybe on "Mumsnet". :lol:
 
Doesn't surprise me that very little has been said about our national day, England has been turned onto a politically correct, p***y whipped nation, to concerned with not upsetting any other nation or group.
 
why do the English not celebrate St george's day much? Does confuse me, in australia they have a holiday for the queen's b'day and celebrate australia day pretty passionately,

St pady's day seems to be celebrated all over, so I do find it a bit surprising that st george's day flies under the radar each year?

Is that a dating site for milfs?

Probably not - I think Mumsnet is a generation older than MILFs!

But how exactly is any of this related to St George's Day?

Classic FM has been relating to start George all day long. :D

I suppose different radio stations have different priorities by the look/sound of it.
A St immigrants day would probably get more airtime.
