[edit] scout hymn?
The scout hymn? I was a scout for many years, a beaver and cub too, and have never heard of the scout hymn. Grunners 15:32, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- No all we sang as scouts was either Kum Ba Ya or Ging Gang Goolie, but apprently there is one: [1], [2] -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 15:43, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Merge vote of Đurđevdan to St George's Day
I dont think the article should be merged with St. Georges Day, because it is not only the name of the Serbian St. George Day but also a Roma holiday with the same name (with no connection with St. Georges day, accept the date) and a song from the band Bijelo Dugme. Sveti Djordje in Serbia is also NOT a patron saint. Although I think, Djurdjevdan could be mentioned on the St. George Day article. But Djurdjevdan article should remain. Litany
- Oppose a merging. (see explanation above) Litany 18:49, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- Support merge: they are the same thing. --Mais oui! 19:23, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- It is not intotal the same thing. Romas also use the word Djurdjevdan, with their own word Ederlazi. Djurdjevdan is far more known then Ederlazi. Why should not the article remain? Litany 18:02, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
- I also have to add that the Gorani , ethnic Slavs of Muslim faith, celebrates Djurdjevdan. They've kept a few Christian traditions although they are Muslims and that is what I have added to the Djurdjevdan article. All this is not mentionable here on St. George's Day - Litany 18:35, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
- Oppose Different Cultural event, celebrated differently, by a different people, The English. No need to merge.
- Support - Djurdjevdan literally means "GEORGE'S DAY", celebrated on April 23 (Julian Calendar). Djurdjevdan is St George's Day the same as Mitrovdan is St Demetrius Day. 149.135.41.194 06:29, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
- Support : Should be merged with the different traditions noted in a section. Lincher 13:43, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Civil Partnership
I think that unless better documentation for that sentence is provided, that it be removed for not being NPOV. --evrik 17:40, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Voting to make a public holiday in England
I'm not entirely sure if it is correct of me to post this link:
http://www.stgeorgesday.com/voting.asp
But I thought it important to mention in the article that it soon might become a bank holiday?

Surely there are too many Bank Holidays in April/May anyhow? They're like London busses! 86.41.130.184 13:22, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] National Flag
It's a sad, if accurate, relection on the tribal divides inherent in English society, that because the national flag is associated with sports fans, people who are disinterested in sport do not want to identify with it.86.41.130.184 13:33, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
