      According to wikipedia[^] you're a day out. "St Davids day falls on 1 March every year, although in 2006 St David's Day was offically celebrated on 28th February as Saints' Days are not celebrated on Ash Wednesday as it is a day of penitence."

        Yes you are of course technicaly correct. I had read that the other day although i saw no overt celebration of St Davids day yesterday. Today however there are many people walking round with Leaks and daffodils and they are all dressing up in my little boys play school (even having the local press there to take photos, sort of a local interest thing i guess) which is a Welsh language group.

          Is this the Welsh equivalent of St. Patricks day? i.e. Lots of drinking to some saint nobody quite remembers. That is coming up on the 17th of March and I am looking forward to not remembering a second of it. Though I have a flight to Los Angeles the following morning so I'd better not be hungover trying to pass through U.S. immigration (surely they will understand? Is "It was St. Paddys day yesterday, don't mind my disheveled state and 2 litre coffee thermos" a good one to get through them?) regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry!

            Must be due to the drinking!

              Normally a bit more of a sober affair here.

                Well if the Welsh I met this past week are anything to judge by you sure can drink (they were over for the Wales vs. Ireland game.) regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry! K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!
