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

Maybe everyone else in your organisation is sat there thinking exactly the same thing and asking themselves why no one has posted anything! If it's such a big deal to you then why don't you post something on Teams?

Kebab, he's Turkish
Edited: other Turkish foods are available

Nice try!

Is there a reason you won’t send a Teams message about it?

It’s not today, though. It’s on the 28th this year.

I'm currently dressed as a full English breakfast and have already had some pretty unpatriotic reactions

St George was Turkish and Palestinian. Interesting!

😁 you are not surprised are you? 😂
Classic mn!

Eid is not a national celebration in the UK. Christmas and Easter on the other hand are.

Where is trans celebrated?

Personally I think some proponents of English nationalism have become too fond of victimhood. And speaking for myself, if it isn't a Bank Holiday it doesn't count.

Well, England, not Britain - but I wouldn’t know, I’m not English, or British for that matter. However, Cappadocian are my favourite of all the snacks, so I’ll join in anyway 😉

Seriously?

I find it bizarre that you’d expect your company to post about this. Do they send you Merry Christmas greetings on Teams? Happy Easter?

Doesn't matter. People in England need to celebrate

Arrested and thrown in jail Stew!

This thread has really made me laugh. The OP's Disgusted of Tunbridge Wells tone, followed by the posts informing her that it isn't actually St. George's Day. Too bad the OP didn't wait a week. Oh, what a missed opportunity for moral outrage. 😅

Yes, thank you so much
I wouldn't want such an important day to sneak up on me and me not be all prepared for it.

It’s Shakespeare’s birthday and World Book Night. I just ordered this year’s Quick Reads (£1 each at your local bookshop) and some new novels to celebrate.

England doesn’t need another public holiday in April. April/May have a cluster already. We need one in autumn or maybe late February.

You’d think someone so passionate about celebrating the day of our Patron saint would know that Saint days cannot be celebrated in Easter week, and it has therefore been moved this year.

We can't celebrate as we don't know what food or hat St George wants us to eat / wear!

THIS is where we fail as a nation. Other people know their hats.

We've got the England flag up on our flagpole at home. Now I know St George's day has been moved this year I'll leave it up until the 28th.

Wow, so into St George’s Day, but doesn’t even know when it is 😂

I'm confused, why can't you message in the teams chat to say "happy st. georges day" if you want it brought up? I'm sure you'll get some replies and gifs.

I don't think we've ever talked about "holidays" in our teams chat, other than christmas, but I messaged on pancake day (a meaningful day to me).

Full suit of plate armour. Inauthentic of course but Traditional.

BYO dragon optional.

Why do they need to ?
People need to do many things more important to life thancelebrate an non-english saint.
Indeed, people need to stop worshiping saints

Teams?? 🤔 I was a child in the 1960s and it wasn't celebrated then either so it's nothing new or so-called woke
