I self-edited because I realised after posting that Atila was never going to read much less digest and argue it's points back


(I'm open to you showing me wrong on that front Atila)


I can always post it up again afterwards - but I'll let everyone who wants to enjoy St Georges Day first ;-)


It felt more like an argument for the Enemies of Reason thread than this one anyway.


But I make this claim: Anyone who is having problems with their work not allowing the flag - put the names and numbers of teh manager in question up and I (and anyone who wants to help me) will ring them and "straighten things out" - how's that for an offer?

Be warned though.. anyone who's seen Sean in the flesh (Doc Martins, shaven head, bloodshoot staring eyes, Swastika tattoo) will know that this is an offer not to be taken lightly.

I wanted to come into work wearing a St George flag painted on my face but my boss didn't think this was a very professional look in our office. What about my rights? Eh? Eh? It's probably because he's a Scot. Bloody foreigners imposing their way of life on us. And I ate porridge for breakfast this morning.


Bloody pc-brigade. They'll ban my Jerusalem ring tone next.

Thanks, but I'm not in need of your ACAS skills. My view on this subject is exactly that and not an argument. I find strange that we as nation are happy to embrace, allegedly, customs of all races, colours and creeds but we seem to almost ashamed of our own customs and celebrations. See? That's not an "argument", it's an opinion.

but what I'm saying Atila is that apart from some people who WANT to feel besieged and indignant about being made to feel ashamed... I'm just not seeing anyone who is actually ashamed


Everyone seems to be out and about enjoying themselves. or in my office working.. some with flags some without.


In short I'm saying most of this feeling of "one rule for others" is imaginary

Just going back slightly, I'd like to join Jah in defending my ability to hold my drink! As for the rest of it, Happy St George's day for those who care. I am a bit patriotic, and would say I'm a proud English person, but I still couldn't really give a toss one way or the other about today.

As a bloody foreigner I have always wanted to go out and celebrate St Georges day but none of the bloody English are ever out making with the jolly in a nice welcoming way on the 23rd. So get off your arses and get with the celebrating and don't be bitter* about the fact that the Irish are better at it. It?s not a competition.


* bitter, geddit? No? oh well suit yourselves.

Happy St. George's Day, everyone.


I for one am feeling particularly dapper, tolerant, ironic, tea-drinking, mead-imbibing and quaint today. Oh, and my teeth are looking a bit brown. How weird is that?!*


*apart from those parts of me that are Scottish, Welsh and French.

So to answer my question, there is no point to St Georges Day because the English missed a good marketing opportunity. It does seem to stir up a few emotions though (and not just from the English) perhaps because the likes of the BNP/NF have stepped in and hijacked the flag as a symbol of hate, which is probably why there's a ban in your office.


I'd like to see a proper (non political) celebration of St.Georges Day. Lot's of English brewed real ale, fat pork sausages on the BBQ and jousting on Goose Green.


Happy St Georges Day

Took this in Woolacombe a few years ago (unfortunately a photographer from the Sun pipped me to it).

That's the way to do it. Excellent! Let's organise this for next year.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
