Belated one to you both too. Sorry, I wasn't on here yesterday, I was in London, where I saw only 4 flags (on BT vans) and that was it. I wore a red rose, as I usually do, but there was nothing to mark the day that I saw, despite Clinton's Cards having a window full of St George's Day goods for sale.

In Rugby, there was a big celebration again, with roads closed from 10-4 and events all day. The whole place is festooned with bunting and most of the shops have different patriotic displays.

In London on St Patrick's Day, I was having to fight my way past hundreds of Guinness leprechauns in Leicester Square and you couldn't turn around without seeing an Irish flag. :roll:

Coming home on the Great Cambridge Road (A10) in Enfield I saw a Land Rover Defender 110 station wagon with a roof rack, which had so many flags tied on, the LR looked more like a yacht!
Do not put off thanking people when they have helped you, as they may not be there to thank later.
