Very multicultural in Manchester but we had a parade and street festival today in the city centre with some small bands playing live music and other bits and pieces.

Unfortunately, I did overhear someone saying they initially thought it was some kind of far right thing because of all the flags out, a sad thing to hear.

Well, that's the saddest aspect of the EDL co-opting the flag of St.George. The rest of us had to drop it, like a hot potato, to avoid giving casual observers the wrong impression that we endorsed the EDL's views.
I have the added complication that it would only draw the attention of the neighbours (like mikey, I live in Wales but wasn't born there), most of whom barely notice me.
Mind you, even when I was England, I heard the phrase "I was born and bred here", quite a lot. I wondered if it was an expression of resentment that, by relocating (out of London, this time), to their town, I had, somehow deprived a local (or one of their relatives, even) of a job.
So it seemed like I didn't belong in England, either. (shrug)

naomi, there are those councils that use odd excuses not to celebrate, and those who keep their mouths shut - but still don't celebrate. There doesn't seem much real-world difference to me. I just wondered if TTT had enquired what his own council's excuse was.
The fact is, St George's Day doesn't seem to attract official celebrations anywhere much. Private citizens and groups are free to do so (which is at least more than you can say for Guy Fawkes day these days).
