St George's day and not on post on Teams about it

[BusyAzureFatball]

It's St George's which should be a national celebration.

Yet nothing

We don’t actually celebrate St Andrews day, burns night is more of a thing here. It was made a public holiday by SNP to appeal to the flag wavers, but most if us just said “O.k a public holiday in November”

I have plastered our house in the St Georges flag and will be eating Fish and Chips later
Unfortunately St George was Turkish and Fish and Chips are probably Jewish
Plus German DH is a bit miffed
Oh well

I don't see why it should be mentioned on Teams. It's nothing to do with work.

I haven't heard Rule, Britannia! played once. Fuming

Such nonsense.

Why would anyone mention St George’s Day when it isn’t?

If you want it to get more attention, I suggest you lobby for it to be a bank holiday in England, then people will be aware, and will have a positive take on it.

@Hoppinggreen I get to eat fish and chips? Suddenly I'm in! Never cared about St George's Day before, but if there's chips...

OP, make a post of you care. Of course, if you actually cared then you probably would have known it had been moved...

Wrap yourself up in a flag and screech Rule Britannia. I'm sure everyone will be delighted.

I also thought it was strange that no one was mentioning that it was Saint George's Day today. Then I found out (at the age of 40) that it's been moved to Monday, because it can't be celebrated during Easter week. I guess they can't have Saint George stealing the limelight.

Do you actually know what "woke" means? I don't think you do. Either way, I don't care about St George's day and didn't know it was until just now, and that is nothing to do with my 'wokeness', more I don't care.

Tell me you are a racist and will be voting for Reform without telling me you are a racist and will be voting for Reform.
What utter nonsense you write. 😂

I think a few people are missing the sarcasm in some of the posts

@youve987456 i think both those post are a good example

It’s still within the octave of Easter, therefore it’s postponed until 28th April.

Hey @BusyAzureFatball

Are you the same poster who practically laid their own egg in hysteria over Brora sending an 'opt out of Easter marketing' message?

Or are there actually two of you?

I think this may be sarcasm
We really do need a sarcasm emoji
Maybe this one 😏
I was banned by MNHQ for Racism and told MN "was not the place for me" when I was being sarcastic once.

I will celebrate anything that involves food to be fair
Eid, Easter, Hannukah bring it on (as long as you feed me)

Jesus Christ, get a life. I'm 50 years old and never remember anyone even mentioning St. George's day in the past, let alone having a national celebration. Now people keep droning on about it in the usual miserable way "I see they mentioned Eid on the council website but nothing for St. George's day" etc. etc. So bloody tiresome. Why the hell would it be mentioned on TEAMS??

My work had a Teams message. I then reminded everyone of the move of the feast day this year to next Monday, and it also being Ed Balls Day then.

Apparently still St Georges Day if you are an Orthodox Christian.

As for the person mentioning the Union Flag, that is for the United Kingdom, not for England.

You could post something if you wanted to.

I didn’t know St George’s Day was a thing.

Because it's where we communicate?

But not on the actual day?
