sobriqueWell, there's a celebration of St. Patricks day.
But for some reason there only rarely seems to be a St. Georges day celebration.
Anyone know when it it?
April 23rd. Which is a friday. So on Friday April 23rd, I feel the need to celebrate. Much like most fridays actually, but remembering that actually, us English _do_ have a patron saint.
What would you say the 'official' drink should be for celebrating this day though?
Personally I'd be inclined to go with beer, as that's a very traditional drink. (And has nothing to do with the fact that I happen to be rather partial to beer). I know tea is supposed to be very English, but don't forget, St. George dates back a little further than that.
I feel this celebration can be done well enough at the pub. Although the thought does occur that it's been a while since we last hosted a party...
