Why would that mean I've got something against Turkey?

I was merely stating that if you want to wave flags on St. George's Day, it should be a Turkish one.

Technically they were under Roman rule back then so it would have been a Roman flag, but then again so was most of Britain, so a modern Turkish flag seems the most appropriate.
The Turks didn’t enter Anatolia until the 11th century. He was Greek.
 
That is like saying you don't have to celebrate Christmas on Christmas day. I am proud to be English and St George's Day is an occasion when I can celebrate it. Nothing to do with religion at all otherwise
I could celebrate it every day of the year...hold on, you may have a point :D


Enjoy mate. I really hope you get that true 'English' feeling.
 
Is St. Patricks day not just bigged up by the media because of the irish influence/culture in America?

I've never heard anyone say that they can't wait to go out for St. Georges Day. I don't understand why anyone would be upset that people don't celebrate it as much either.



Examples? I think it's more that people just aren't that arsed. I celebrate my country every day by following it's laws and paying my taxes.
Iirc it was bigged up by Guinness to boost sales?

Similar to how Coca Cola sponsor Christmas???
