  • Do you (would you) fly a flag?

    There are a few folk on my site who hoist a flag when they're 'at home' Mainly national ones - Union Jacks, St George's, Maple Leaf etc but we also have one renegade flying a Skull & Cross Bones

    I quite like the idea, both as an 'I'm here, pop by and say hello' sign and as an expression of a concept that you support.

    Anyone here flying their lottie flag?
    I was feeling part of the scenery
    I walked right out of the machinery
    My heart going boom boom boom
    "Hey" he said "Grab your things
    I've come to take you home."

    Nothing to fly one on - the site is too small - and the plot holders all live in the village - so no sheds. Could stick one on me bean pole, but then it's easy to see when people are there without a flag. Good idea though.

      We have a flag pole in our garden and my partner delights in having a flag for every occassion. Normally we fly the good old black and white but if it's St George's Day, or St Davids, or even St Patricks he's got a flag for it.

      Oh and we have one with Father Christmas on too - and yes the good old Skull & Crossbones - we fly that when we've been invaded by my grand children

          Think I would when I get a plot.
          Most likely a Everton or ST Hejens flag

            standard practice in Denmark to fly a flag in every garden and t take pride in ones nationality etc - they also wave Danish flags at parties and so on - I would love a flag in my garden but flags are associated with football hooligans and nfs - are they not?

              You need permission to fly a flag which is not a Union Jack,

                  I think thats only if you are advertising something commercial on the flag?

                    They can be. I'm about as far away from a football hooligan or rascist as you can get though and I think it's time to reclaim our sense of patriotism and solidarity

                      Shetland is passionate about its own flag - we fly it everywhere!

                        i would love to fly St Pirans cross everywhere but living in England even flying the Union Flag is frowned upon, I agree that we should be more patriotic and should be proud to fly flags and not be worried about upsetting anyone because of it.

                          I fly a Jolly Roger over my house - and I ask permission from no-one. Anybody knocking on my door to see if I have permission will get what the Jolly Roger stands for: no quarter!

                            We fly the French flag here regularly and when I get my maypole on 7th June - French custon, 20 feet high, decorated with flags and plaques and streamers, all to do with being a new Councillor - I'll have half a dozen outside the house. On Bank Holidays like today, we also fly the Euro flag and Occitain cross flag.

                            Edit - regardless of where I come from, England, I wouldn't be so rude as to fly the English flag or Union Flag here, nothing to do with my 'Englishness' or their associations with extreme parties, just don't want to offend my hosts, especially as I'm going to apply for a French passport when I've been here 5 years.

                              National Flags, the EU flag and National saints day flags can be flown. Under the Town and Country planning act anything else needs planning permission.. so if you are flying the English Rose, 3 lions, county flags etc they are counted as advertising.

                              Personally I can't see anything wrong with flying county flags but I don't think I would be in favour of football team flags flying on every street. It never ceases to amaze me when I cross the border in to Wales, how many Welsh flags you see flying, seems almost every public building proudly does it.

                              Of course in England I suppose it might be un PC...
