Joolesgreyuk Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 All this talk about St Patrick's day, pah it's only for the Irish ;-) Much more important is Friday April 23rd. There is a big campaign brewing in England, on facebook & elsewhere to make this a bank holiday (we have the least bank holidays than anyone else in europe and our government is afraid of upsetting the minorities in this country) so Janet ;-) to prove you aren't taking sides can I expect to see a St. George's day quiz? Anyway, I'm off to sign my facebook petition :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Hey Jules, I am not Irish but I celebrate St Patrick's Day if only for the corned beef and cabbage, it was yummy. I hope you do get St George's Day as a holiday if it means that much to you English folks, I am all for getting more holidays but here in the US we have lots of holidays that pretty much only state and federal workers get, bummer for the rest of us.

Joolesgreyuk Posted March 21, 2010 Author Share Posted March 21, 2010 Jude I did in on a more official site in the end, the fb one was a little complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 I don't belong to facebook so can't sign the petition. . Good luck on your campaign to make St. George Day a legal holiday, Julie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvparrots Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Julie, do you know where St. Patrick was born???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolesgreyuk Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 Britain I believe Jan, Britain = Scotland, England, Wales & Northern IRELAND. Actually Jan I wasn't aware that St Patrick's day was so popular in the US but then again there are lots of Irish Americans so I guess I should've known.
