Yeah your right, but my friend was in Manchester last year and said the full town centre she was visiting was closed off for St. Patrick's celebrations..

wolvesaussie Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I have never understood why St Patricks day is so popular in the UK. Was it as popular in the 80s when the Irish were blowing up birmingham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Patricks day is huge in Australia as well and I never really understood it until I realised it was (like here) an excuse to go out and get very drunk, it seems to have little to do with St Patrick or Ireland to be fair.
