Hmmm, St. George's Day, eh? How does one celebrate St. George's Day? Would indulging in a nice English Ale suffice?

well you could go for ale, but it has to be a pint, none of this tiny glass nonsense, or you could have a proper English drink - Tea

It'd have to be the full-on UK experience.. begin the day with a huge fried breakfast of bacon, eggs, sausages, fried bread, fried tomatoes, baked beans and toast (with tea - with milk), then head straight to the nearest pub, and drink heavily and continuously until 11pm, eating only cheese and onion flavour crisps. Leave the pub, possibly have a fight, then indulge in either a huge greasy doner kebab, or pay your local Indian restaurant a visit and eat the hottest curry on the menu. Vomit profusely, preferably in the cab home, get home, vomit a bit more, stick the telly on, fall asleep.

The perfect St. George's Day.

So why would this be anything special..?

All that seems to happen is that every outside space is draped in white material with red crosses - looks especially grubby when it rains!!

Do you think that St. George would have taken on Susan Boyle?
