Most English People Don`t Seem To Care. - General Discussion en True Nudists

England does not celebrate its patron saint's feast day with the same spirit as its neighbours toast St Patrick,St David
and St Andrew.
A survey this month found few English people knew St George's Day was on 23 April and many thought St George was their local pub.
Critics say the red cross of St George is offensive for some people. It was carried in the Crusades against Islam - and also in battles
with the Scots.
Does England need a patron saint in this multi-cultural age? Should 23 April be celebrated by the English in the same way as the saints in Scotland, Wales and Ireland are remembered?

Veteran's Day and Memorial Day are two more holidays that most do not remember what they stand for. In Massachusetts and Maine, there is Patriot's Day the third Monday in April (now you know why tax day was Tuesday April 17 this year). Patriot Day is 9/11.
