    A lot of people, including polititians and other pressure groups have been campaigning to make St. George's Day a public holiday. Guess who have been (very successfully) campaigning against any extra public holidays... CEOs and businessmen everywhere, crying out about how many million billion zillion Pounds are lost on a bank holiday.

    Actually, St george was from Palestine and was brutally tortured or something... Definately from Palestine though.

    He's also the patron saint of Catalonia. But in there they get a public holiday.

    I think if 'they' were going to make St Georges day into a public holiday for the whole of Britain then they would also have to make St Davids day a public holiday. I don't know if St Andrews day is or not.

    Why not a BH for England on 23rd April, on for Wales on St Davids, Ireland on St Pats but nothing for the Jocks, they already get an extra day for the New Year
