I've been reading a lot of the answers regarding St. Patrick's day and I find it astonishing that so many (NOT ALL) americans think it's considered bad luck in Ireland to wear green on Paddy's day!!!?
Why weren't we informed?! I mean, here we are in Ireland for as long as I can remember, wearing green on the 17th of March, and no one bothers to tell us it's bad luck?! That's very bad form!
Basically, whoever thinks that is completely wrong. We don't have that pinching tradition here, presumably cos if you pinched someone for not wearing green, you'd get punched in the face!
I was wearing my GREEEEEEN rugby jersey, as were most people on Paddy's Day, cos it was a momentus rugby occaision. But Lots of other people were wearing green too.
And lots of people wear shamrocks on Paddy's day on their shirts or whatever. FRESH shamrocks, as in real, three leafed ones. Not plastic ones.
