Well, there is such a day as St. George's day in our calendar, but it's not a 'holiday' as such. It's a normal working day and there are no traditional practises which are observed on it. A lot of working people are told they are not allowed to display a St George's Cross flag on their vehicle or work station as it will apparently offend ethnic minorities in our country.

We also have St Andrew's day (for Scotland) St David's day (for Wales) and St Patrick's day (for Ireland).

Obviously, we don't celebrate 4th July, since it is the anniversary of the American's defeating us in the War of Independence, although I can't count how many times I've been asked if we do.

Having said that, 4th July is a very important day for us this year, as it's the day we go for our second scan, and should hopefully find out if Junior-Pucker is a boy or a girl!
