Absolutely, none of this "Brittain" stuff for me, there aint no blue on my flag just St George's red cross on a white background.

"all the world over, each nation's the same
They've simply no notion of playing the game
They argue with umpires, they cheer when they've won
And they practice beforehand which ruins the fun!

The English, the English, the English are best
So up with the English and down with the rest."

Ist March St david's, Wesh national day.
March 17th, St paddy's day, Irish national celebrated all over, bit of a big deal in England.
April 23rd, St George, English national Day, not really celebrated at all.
30th November, St Andrew's Scots national day.

Bit of a movement in England to start celebrating St George as our celtic neighbors do rather better at theirs but really nothing like say, the French on July 14th (Bastille day) or yourselves ten days earlier, we just don't do flag waving but again in England there is a bit of a move to start using the red cross rather than the "British" union flag, the red, white and blue interlinked crosses, bit like a californian might prefer the bear on gold over the Star sp..... no perhaps not but you get the picture.
