She’s become considerably more human since those grim days. She might even regret them.

The thing is that most of them had just been stuck on lampposts in such away that the are never going to fly properly. The whole thing looked fairly tacky.
Locally we've remained refreshingly flag free, quite surprising because I know they've already got 'em as they all come out for sporting events.
However yesterday one of our neighbours erected a flag pole and this morning it has a Union Jack flying from it. Bizarrely, this is at the bottom of her back garden and is therefore only visible to her and her immediate neighbours. What's that all about? Isn't 'demonstrating National Pride' rather negated by hiding it at the bottom of the garden?

If it continues to be Ulsterised, it's only a matter of time before the kerbstones get painted.

Pleased to say that Lancaster remains gloriously flag free, save on the castle.

FFS. It was only a matter of time, mind.
Police are investigating after an English flag was painted on a mini roundabout in a Welsh town.

The roundabout near Ysgol John Bright on Maesdu Road in Llandudno was daubed with the St George’s flag, which symbolises the Patron Saint of England.

North Wales Police now say they are making enquiries, whilst the council has condemned the “graffiti”.

There's one on the mini-roundabout in Sketty, Swansea as well.
