Yet you still felt the need to comment about the day.

Nowt wrong with that.
However, if he says owt about St. Robert of Newminster...

He's also the Patron Saint of Soldiers, Scouts and Syphillis.

As well as a bunch of other countries, and he was Greek...

And there's me thinking he was Turkish all this time.

Loadsa flags outside does make it easier to see which pubs to avoid.

Cappadocia is modern day Turkey, but it was Greece back in dayes of yore.

The joys of having a mother as an ancient history/classics teacher!

I wasn't aware it was a thread for you Engs' only.
You could comment on a St Andrews /Saint David/St Patricks/Bastille Day (or anything else) thread if you so wished.

Anyway, between nearly melting, the cars, making several hundred quid and that alarm thingy, it was an eventful day regardless, that's why.

I forgot, there was a Citroën DS too.
Lovely looking thing it was too.

There were some old Volvo Estates which I though was about as weird as the Vauxhall Astra, but I guess people must collect them too.

Oh and there was a Thames van and what looked a bit like a Black Miraya, only it wasn't black. 🤔

Utterly pointless 'day celebration' as are so many of them.

But I wouldn't do which is/was my point. You posted "St George's Day? Sorry, this is Scotland and never realised, sorry". Why post that you didn't realise it was St George's Day, when others who did realise, but chose to ignore it didn't post that they knew it was, but were ignoring it. They simply ignored the day, instead of indicating they thought it was irrelevant to them, then posted to let us all know it was irrelevant to them. It's similar to threads for example about computer questions, which I couldn't answer because I know very little about computers. So, what I do is ignore the thread, not out of impoliteness, but because me saying "I don't know the answer, but I'm posting to tell you that I don't know the answer" would be silly and pointless. There's a woman I've posted about before who posts on a local Facebook page. If a dog or a cat goes missing she will post stuff like "sorry, wish I could help, but I don't know where it is". If that's the case why let others know that you don't know, when the vast majority who also don't know where the lost animal is simply don't post to let the owner know that they don't know where it is! 🤔 I might sound like I'm going off on one, but I'm having one of those analysis paralysis days, so please don't take this post to heart!

I don't really say, but my Mum was born in Leicester, so I am English... Well, half anyway, so really, I should have 'noticed'.

 

[Tail End Charlie]

I watched the Kenneth Branagh version of Henry V. Does that count?

 

[wiggydiggy]

As an English Lancastrian living in Yorkshire I celebrated this day by drinking Bourban Whiskey from Southern America.

All a bit of fun really isn't it?🙂

 

[Fab Foodie]

It passed me by unnoticed...like so many other irrelevances....

Only this country could go to the pub to 'celebrate' (ie excuse to get bladdered) the life of a bloke who wasn't English, never lived here, never slew non-existent dragons.
