I'm not Irish and I don't drink Guinness. That is all.

Yay!! ![Harsh Funny](//thetownend.com/Smileys/tefsmile/harshfunny.gif) One of the few countries on the planet that has an even more unhealthy relationship with alcohol than we do. Your smiley thing sums up the day perfectly!

[url width=500 height=367]http://www.eppingforestdc.gov.uk/Library/Images/Press_Release_Pics/StGeorgesDayFlag.jpg[/url] Why don't we celebrate St. George's Day? Is there no alcoholic beverage that can be used to market the day?

As long as they have some sort of gimmicky Guinness offers in the pub then I'm all for celebrating it.

That's not really the reason though is it? Or at least I never remember it being the reason when we didn't bother celebrating it 10 years ago, and I guess it wasn't the reason 20 years ago. We don't celebrate our patron saints day for the same reason most other countries don't celebrate theirs - it hasn't been part of an very successful branding exercise turning the whole thing into a day of drinking Guinness. The "in case we upset some ethnic minority" rubbish has gone further towards putting people off St. Georges day (and the flag) than anything else, by adding a nasty edge to the nationalism.
