St Georges day should be made a compulsary day off. To celebrate being British by going down the pub and getting slaughtered (maybe with a buffet thrown in!)

We don't have thanksgiving cause we did not orginate out of a puritan colony...we are the old world, not the new world...in fact at the time James I was quite happy to let these guys go cause they caused him a headache.

We don't need an excuse to have a good dinner and wine with friends and family - we do it all the time anyway.

Our lack of that holiday is the only thing that keeps america fatter than us. I'm glad of it too, otherwise the rest of the world would generalise US the fattest laziest pack of lard-ar$es on the planet.

Celebrate it if you want but i think it a sick celebration. Why would someone give thanks for the english people going to america and killing toturing and raping the natives?
