  2. Are there any ‘celebrations’ held to mark the day. I left the UK in early 1970s and there weren’t any then

    1. Nothing national that I know of, but I think a lot of people create their own.

  4. Can you send George this way. We appear to have a fire-breathing dragon on the doorstep?

  5. It's a pity that we don't celebrate St George's Day, especially as it's Shakespeare's birthday, too . . . AND we have no national costume!

    1. I know. I think St Patrick's day is a holiday now.

  6. One of the most underrated holidays out there IMO. We always celebrate with a big dinner party, gifts, and dressing the pet iguana in his little fake wings.
