As a country we appear to have forgotten this. Shame, probably upsets the foreigners.

Please tell me you're joking
Yes, I bet the quarter of a million Brits who own property in France are keen to celebrate such a recent victory and rub their French neighbours' noses in it

Based on many 'authorities' haste to replace Christmas with a 'WinterFestival' there seems every reason to suppose that (the resurrection of) Trafalgar Day would be viewed by some as being as potentially inflammatory as the Cross of St George although in truth it's celebration as a national day has long passed.
That is genuinely the first time I've ever heard a suggestion of 'Winter Festival'. Who are these authorities you speak of? (I appreciate I may get whooshed massively here)
Winter Festivals (or Wintervals) have been brought in by County Councils, one of the hotbeds of OTT PC. Same as attempts have been made to re-name blackboards and accident black spots (I'm not sure what they came u[p with for the last two, but I don't think it stuck).
No, he mustn't be mentioned!Christ.
Birmingham's Winterval in the late 90's was an attempt at a more inclusive celebration which backfired badly as it was widely viewed as political correctness gone mad. The concept of a more secular "Winterval" came from the States and has been adopted by a number of local authorities here and in particular in strongly multicultural communities. The idea of inclusion is surely "a good thing" but is sadly (in my view) too often accompanied by the sidelining of tradition.

You are argueing against yourself.

Please can you provide me with a link to a list of these County Councils?
Sorry - you are the fool. I was actually working for the council when this was going on. Needless to say, there was much muttering amongst the work force. So please stick to what you know before going round name-calling.Sucker.
When it comes to gullibility - you're EASY.
I will be having a Tot !!
