Have always thought the same about St Andrews day. However, the SNP council in Angus have decreed it a public holiday so all the kids in Angus get a day off school. Hope it's explained to them why?
Now St Patrick's day - that's something else. The Irish sure know how to celebrate.
Many years ago, when at school, our yr was divided into the four 'saints'...
I was in St. Davids, and everything we had to wear in school was orange...everything was about the four houses competing, I hated the colour and have done ever since, so maybe a deep seated thing...
it appears that refering to the way the Welsh are seen on answerbank is not regarded at racism.....unlike the comments that are labelled racism by certain folk here when some remarks are made about other nationalities......strange that...
i was making a point ummmm....had someone made a similar remark regarding an ethnic group all the usual members here would be up in arms , answers would be removed etc....double standards
