Oh, the decline of Empire!
Tomorrow is World Book Day. In England. And Ireland.....
Err...
That's It...
Pink Bits on the map, where are they now?
Apparently The Rest of The World celebrate WBD on April 23rd. This has been deliberately chosen as it is (probably) Shakespeare's Birthday.
It takes little imagination to see why Ireland would not wish to have a major celebration on the birthday of England's greatest writer. A day which also happens to be the feast of St. George, patron saint of England.
But why don't the English celebrate it then?
I feel a campaign coming on....
