The flag of St George is regularly flown on parish churches throughout the land. (Thankfully not Oiram's under garments, although they do say Cleanliness in next to Godliness).

Re: Just to clarify
In general I like it when people show their flag. It’s a sign of pride in one’s heritage. All nations, states, regions or whatever. It is in no way racist.Orient_Man_And_Boy wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 12:18 pm The flag of St George is regularly flown on parish churches throughout the land.

Re: Just to clarify
I can only agree with you. In the US it is very common for people to have flags hanging in their houses. I have a friend who does the same, but hangs it outside the front of the house when our national Cricket, Rugby and football teams are playing in competitions.Dohnut (ALM) wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 12:25 pmIn general I like it when people show their flag.

I am pleased to see that Boris has followed this up when talking to the nation from home as well.

Re: Just to clarify
Also my point was that I’m not surprised you live in an area where people fly a flag in their gardens.

Re: Just to clarify
Personally I always have at least two union flags flying at my gaff. I question the commitment of those who just have one.

Re: Just to clarify
It's the only way to make sure a flying flag is visible from both the East and West wings.

Because you’ve had your vaccine, doesn’t make it a success.

Which Flag represents your Country ?
The one above or the one below ?

Are you English Scotlandish or Sixcountiesish ?
Another question ,
Why is St Davids flag not incuded ?
Is it because they didnt like one of the colours ?

Actually, my memory of that day was of people standing around in the concourse looking stunned and knowing somehow that it was going to end in tears.o-no wrote: ↑Sat Jan 30, 2021 9:04 am I completely agree that we are ahead on the vaccine so far - and if we want to say that's a Brexit bonus then I have no problem with that - but the fact remains there's a long way to go yet. I remember a day at Wembley, we were 2-0 up at half time, and people were celebrating wildly....

Re: Just to clarify
I still have the flag.
I remember seeing someone buy a flag off a trader for £1 as thousands left in silence , you could hear a pin drop, until that lady announcer with awful screeching voice started to squeal over the microphone.
What an awful day that was. I worked it out, cost me nearly a thousand quid in tickets , meals , snacks, parking, dogs care and so on.

Without consulting the wiki-gods, might it be that over the centuries Wales was a Principality not a Kingdom? (Confidence rated 3/10)

Still a Principality
Or a Kingdom or a Nation .
It has its own parliament
Its own National.Anthem
It's own boarder
Its own Flags
Etc etc
Be nice if it was included in the modern world Don't you think ?
