Unlike places like Australia and the US, our 'National Day' isn't a public holiday either although there's a campaign to get it recognised as such!It's another example of the way in which we Englishmen feel disenfranchised - our national identity is eroded and we're even accused of being racist by not declaring that we're really 'British'! The Scot's, the Welsh, the Irish all have their national identities but the English, well no we don't.
There's also a move in Parliament to change the existing 'National Anthem' to something else - we're probably the only nation that sings the 'praises' of a person (The Queen) rather than the Country!
Sad day!
