SIR: After the run up to today's Saint Patrick's Day, I feel compelled to pen this letter.
After having seen all the advertisements for all the programmes during and running up to this special day to many. I ask myself, why, do only the Irish celebrate their Saint's Day so enthusiastically.
So come on English people or Bolton and the Welsh and the Scottish, have some patriotism.
