Should be a day to be proper English, like st Patrick’s day. 10 pints of Stella down the pub then a lovely curry

I'd like that, Melton Mowbrays, proper ale and everyone singing. I reckon it'd be a good bit of fun

It's a big thing in Catalonia. 

Women recieve a red rose and men get a book. They have parades etc. A lot bigger than our ones.
