We celebrate every year by donning our red roses, hanging the flag out of the window and getting legless in the most 'interested' pub.

We honour Remembrance Sunday in the same fashion... Funnily enough, it always ends up in the pub.

There isn't enough being done by local councils to make sure that St Georges day is kept a special occasion. Shame.

Another thought, I notice because of the World Cup (and I loooove footy, don't get me wrong) there are many flags and wonderful St Georges things you can buy. Wonderful, but let's see just how many fly next St Georges Day...

Remember, the St Georges Cross is for life, not just for the World Cup.
