Guy Fawkes or St George?

Apparently, English people are more than 3 times more likely to celebrate Guy Fawkes Night than St Georges Day. In a survey carried out for English Heritage, only 19% of the 1.800 people asked were planning to celebrate St Georges Day although over half of those who weren't planning to celebrate said this was because they didn't know what was appropriate.

It's sad really, isn't it? The UK government are happy to encourage celebration of the man who tried to blow their precious parliament up but actively discourage any attempts to celebrate our patron saint.
