never fully understood the north American craze for extravagant St. Paddy's day celebrations... except to say, if you are young; nothing like a non-weekend excuse for drinking. It seems fairly supportable I would warrant !
as for all the other greenery we used to string around the office, it was definitely just another case of consumer exploitation. certainly, growing up in London in the '60's it was not acknowledged in every drinking establishment... save the Irish pubs !! yes, we did make a special pilgrimage to them on march 17th.. I recall one particular pub in Kilburn at the end of Mart's street that was wild.
(But then that pub was wild every Saturday night, too..)
I could not face putting green dye in my 12 yr old Johnny Walker now, so I guess I will give it a miss this year too.
