Anyway, just been arrested for being English.

Modern Britain innit?

Arrested for being English or sticking your lance out for all to see?

This is correct, according to the Church of England:

A note issued by the church states: ‘When St George’s Day or St Mark’s Day falls between Palm Sunday and the Second Sunday of Easter inclusive, it is transferred to the Monday after the Second Sunday of Easter.


‘If both fall in this period, St George’s Day is transferred to the Monday and St Mark’s Day to the Tuesday.’
