Today could be the last time we go to work on April 23 if a St George's Day lobby group have their way.

The St George's Day group is lobbying MPs, councils and the Government to get what they say is England's national day marked with a Bank Holiday.

Romford MP Andrew Rosindell took the argument for the English national day to Parliament last month, with an Early Day Motion saying "the day of England's patron saint is an opportunity for all the people of England to celebrate their country's heritage, culture and traditions" and calling on the Government to ensure the Cross of St George flag is flown from all public buildings and make April 23 a public holiday.

While St George's Day has been celebrated on April 23 since 1222, it's only been marked in London with a concert in Trafalgar Square for the past four years.

And according to one newspaper survey, while more than 60 per cent of men can name the date, one in three young urbanites have no idea who he is.

After Mayor of London Ken Livingstone's celebration in Trafalgar Square, the next biggest event seems to be the Royal Mail's special St George's Day stamp collection.

But even they admit we know less about St George than nearly any other saint - and the best known bits of his legend are also the least believable.

Believed to be a Turkish-born Roman soldier in the third century, St George was tortured to death after refusing to renounce Christianity.

The legend of dragon slaying is believed to have been brought back from the Middle East by Crusaders, growing in popularity until he was canonised in the 1400s.
