Why on Earth Fly a flag (2 Viewers)

[Wyaye wires]

No, it is not.

Sorry, I must scroll down before replying...

We usually fly 2 or 3 flags at shows or meets for the fun of it.

The Union Flag or the cross of St George because we are proud.
Maybe a county flag and MHF one as talking points.
It's a personal thing in a free country and down to individual choice.
I'm sure that at some shows there is a competition to see who can fly the most flags.

We'll mixed views then, isn't the flag noisy when its flapping about all night? or do you take them down when you go to bed?

 

[Wyaye wires]

I've had the pole blow against the van when I've positioned it wrongly and the wind has strengthened but never been kept awake by flags flapping.

Actually I think there is, you fly the union flag outside your home and see what happens.

Flags should be lowered at sunset - with much blowing of bugles* and stamping of feet. Followed by a glass of something alcoholic.

In the past I have read about local councils prosecuting the perpetrator.

You need all manner of permissions to be patriotic.

National flags (and several others) don't need consent now since the current government introduced a bit of common sense - Broken Link Removed.

We've got a Bacardi flag that we quite often used to hang on our awning when we caravanned

It's normally a planning permission issue. You can't just have any sort of erection in your garden.

Thank you Godfather, once again my humble life is much improved by your generosity.

Yes....I was thinking about getting a flag (Les has one on the mbike for certain events) but am worried now about giving out wrong signals if some have hidden meanings

Think we'll just have to get a Fun one - we should be safe with that one

Will it be possible to buy one if we have a wander to Newark show please?

I fly my St. George flag in England when Johnny foriegner is flying their flag.
Dont know what this says about me, or them!

 

[Wyaye wires]

We fly, Funsters, Irish and St Pirins'...

 

[Ockerron]

We have bought a pole and a flag as close to a Fun one as we could get. Haven't used it yet but look forward to using it at Chester. Will also have a Gloucester Rugby flag! It's Fun (isn't that what it's all supposed to be about?) it helps locate your vehicle in what may be a massive collection of similar looking vehicles (especially when inebriated) and can help to identify like minded people...be it Funsters, county neighbours or rugby fans! Can't see the harm myself, but it wouldn't do for us all to like the same things, would it?

when you are the owner of a "West Bromwich Albion" flag.

As the owner of the Baggies' flag you must be a highly regarded supporter.

We fly the 'Yellow Jack' quarantine flag; it stops people from parking too close.

My Flags Flying at Shell Island so our friends could find us and what Party's we had, and yes I know what the Rainbow flag means because @teddybard took great delight in telling me but I think it's pretty and staying. As you can see we do not fly them next to the van so flapping does not bother us, in excessive wind we take them down and put them under the van.

St Pirins? The stuff I take for hay fever is called Pirinase - so he/she must be the patron saint of sneezes. Useful to know.

I suppose the need to have a flag out to remind you where you live might explain..

 

[Jim]

You should all be aware that the Funster flag flown upside down is an international distress signal. "Funster out of beer"

 

[old-mo]

Old Mo - you know what you're saying flying a rainbow flag?

I didn`t, till we were at the Marjal Rally..... and a funster (Salopian) pointed out what it was....

The wife bought it cos it had pretty colours..

On certain days I hang it on the fence beside our place.... especially when the sheep are in the field...
