St George's Day and Scotland's equivalent St Andrew's day are more overlooked than St Patrick's day because they are predominantly Protestant countries. Protestants tend to want much less to do with saints than Catholics (which Ireland is full of).

I agree entirely, I would loathe the idea of always seeing flags, as one newspaper columnist suggested having flags in classrooms, I like the English patriotism that we have now, we don't need to fancy celebrations to let others know how much we feel about our country, it is a personal thing.
