Or Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus!! If you prefer

So we have threads for St Patrick's day and St George's day, but none for St David (probably be proved wrong) so to all the welsh people on the forum and,hell why not, everyone else, hope you all have a welsh cake in honour of the day.

As I live in England now, I'll have to go buy a pack in the "world foods" section of M
&S to commemorate it (I kid thee not).

I'm starting a government petition to have the day renamed to Mr. Drippy's Day.

Lady in my office made a big tin full of Welsh cakes for today and there are very few people in. Time to get munching!

I am considering making a daffodil head dress in honour of the day. I did once go to school dressed a leek. One of my more natty outfits.

Annual bump, well, the first annual bump but hopefully the first of many.

Happy St David's day fellow welshies!

Why thank you, and to you good sir.

The local co-op didn't have any welsh cakes. I am very disappointed.

Welsh cakes are ace. I am all on my own today as the girlfriend is away this weekend, does that mean I should cook some and have them to myself? Very tempting.

Happy St David's day.

@Mr_Sleep that's a question that will answer itself, once you have one it's a slippery slope

He helped spread Christianity around the tribes of Wales, founding churches which grew to villages, towns and cities, and the Wales we know and love.

He has the added advantage of being real, unlike say St. George, who is best known as the patron saint of syphilis sufferers.

I like to pull out that tidbit on the rare occasions I meet an Englishman who remembers when St George's day is.

Patron saint of Asda.

23 April. Suck it, Welshies.

... Nothing like a bit of utterly pointless tribalism.
