I know what you're thinking - get Christmas out of the way first woman! That's because, if you're not from Northern Ireland, you probably think that St Patrick's Day is a major holiday we celebrate over the period of a week or more with parades and green rivers and shamrock and green beer and little green men and the such.It's not. In fact, I can't remember the last time I had St Patrick's Day off work. I do remember once, in about 1989 my mum buying a cake that had a marzipan shamrock on top of it. Although I think she actually bought it the week after St Patrick's Day, reduced because the shop couldn't shift them.
But this year we have big plans to celebrate St Patrick's Day in style; if St Patrick won't come to us, we've decided to go to him. And so: breaking news alert: today we have booked to celebrate St Partrick's Day in ..... that most Irish of cities ..... Boston!

Now, Ali, come on. All you have to do is move a few miles south and you could have Patrick's Day off every year!
Maybe we'll do St patricks day in Dublin next year, if we get the day off that is!
