RESULTS: Truro Chooses Pub & Food for St George's Day

Truro didn't seem to really do a lot for St George's

Day.  Sadly, banks were open, shops were

trading and every single one of us had to go to work.  But, what if things were different?  What if the day of our dragon slaying patron

saint warranted a national bank holiday?  

 

Although the day itself went by with little more than a

Twitter trend to commemorate, we put the poll to you last week, across 300+

sites on the local people network, and Truro has had its say – "if St George's Day were a bank holiday, how

would you celebrate?"

Results

Of little surprise, Truro people would mostly opt to

celebrate St George's Day in the same way as our Irish brethren make merriment

for Patrick – 'going to the pub' was first with 29% of the vote.

What was surprising, was that the pub had to share top

honours with something else, in this case, 'inspired to cook an English

breakfast'.

With another tie for second place, the joint silver

accolades went to altogether more wholesome and healthy options, 'spend time

with family and friends' and 'weekend break to explore the UK' – each receiving

14% of the vote.

Pleasingly, in a dim and distant 5th (last) place

was 'DIY and gardening', with just 14%.  

 

Have your say.

Do you agree with the

St George's Day poll?  Are you at all

surprised...would you have wanted to do some gardening?  Blue sky thinking aside, what did you actually

do for the day of our patron saint?
