Endless guilt.
I actually have a theory about this. Any country or region that has been under occupation or invasion, or was generally the losing side in a conflict, tends to have a stronger sense of identity and pride in their culture, specially when it comes to comparing said culture with that of 'the enemy'.
Scotland and Ireland are overly proud of themselves and their jovial hatred of the English. Over here in Yorkshire our annoying "Yorkshire first, English second" pride, with a specific focus on being from the better side of the Pennines, can only come from the fact that we fought the war of the roses and lost. Then there's English people who love to hate the French, which is surely a knock-on from our Norman conquest 1000 years ago.
So the reason St George's Day is generally not known about is because English people in recent history have had no reason to defiantly sing about their country's greatness, because it was known far and wide already. Unlike the Irish and Scottish who will have once taken every chance they could get to come together and promote their identity.
Anyway, happy St George's Day

(We probably don't observe St George's Day quite so much because it's not cool to be proud of the crusades but sod it, today's the one day we should be able to say that our ancestors didn't do half bad, even if they did wreak a bit of havoc on the way)

Is this a thread about you showing your national pride?
So much pride that you didn't even know what the date is...

Oh please, the only reason people 'celebrate' St. Paddy's day is that it's a widely-encouraged excuse to get maggoted. Today it's centred around pisshead stereotyping more than cultural identity. They may as well call it Buy Guinness Day.
I've never seen people out for St. Andrew's day, but then again I live south of the Humber. |
Burns Night celebrations are quite common in England. This is seen as the celebration of Scotland, more than St Andrews Day.
Why don't we celebrate St George's Day as a widely encouraged excuse to get maggoted? We celebrate Guy Fawkes Night and Halloween, St Paddy's Day and Burns Night, but St George is a bit too English is it, so we have to keep quiet about it? ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Well I was aware of the date, it's always three days before my birthday. My news feed has no mention of anything to do
with St Georges day except this which kind of sums up the original point.

Plenty pubs round here advertising it, flags flying etc.
Perhaps if bnp72 left the house a bit more he'd see these things? ____________________ Mpd72: I can categorically say i’m Brighter than that, no matter how I come across on here.
