Fly The Union Flag

[naomi24]

I’m fed up with people knocking this great country of ours so in the spirit of patriotism I reckon it’s time to fly the flag on all public buildings, schools included, and anywhere else people would like to fly it. I’m searching for a flag pole and someone to install it in my garden as I type. What say you?

If no flags are available, would a Union Jack bath towel hanging out the upstairs window be suitable ? I’ve seen that abroad.

\\I like seeing a fresh and smart flag fluttering in the breeze, unsure how a street full of them would look.

I'm not allowed to plant anything in our gardens.//

Why can't you plant anything?

'The management' are in charge of the communal gardens.

Well, that's the theory - the reality is a poor excuse for actual gardening these days.

Thats terrible, the sheltered accommodation where my parents live, its called housing 24, allow the residents to plant and grow stuff and the gardens look lovely.

I don't have a Union flag, but have seen a few dotted around where I live. I do have St George flag which gets flown when a Major Football tournament is on.

I have a union flag on a tea towel. It would flutter from a stick in one of your planters emmie if you wish.
I'm to scared to put ne out down here. I could get lynched or at least ostracised. Only ever see the county flag.

thanks LJ. I am having a look at local post office as they do all sorts of tourists thing, Union Flags aplenty. It can't be very big as i said it wouldn't fit on balcony but in one of the pots can see it fluttering away, not literally, lol

Some telling responses...

emmie just let me know. Would a small flag attached to a cane that is securely tied to a pot work?

Sunk - St Pirans flag is very visible down here - pubs, restaurants, private houses, public libraries, public halls, shops. I am sure some of them are the wrong size and the wrong height but who is going to complain.

SunkTonyav,

You may see your Black Country flag flying less often now.


I don't think so, not flown on public buildings anyway. Don't think you know the area.
