Should you be proudly displaying the flag this weekend, get it right!

Depends which side the flagpole is!

I've already had to explain this to my husband when he was halfway through putting up bunting in the grounds of our estate before tomorrow's first communal event - afternoon tea and a quiz on the main lawn.


God, I sound like Crodo except what I said is all true.

 

[Brok]

Depends which side the flagpole is!

No.

And when laying turf it’s green side up.

Jack , I know this is a major bug bear of yours. But such a shame you feel have to post it.
Keep trying and eventually everyone will learn how to hang our Union Flag.

 

[Bodian]

No.

? - surely the bottom one is correct if the flagpole is on the right-hand side?

Now, you know I'm "Mr. Cool & Mellow" nowadays, but when I see a Union Flag hung the wrong way round, it does my ******* head in!

PS. And upside-down football scarves!!

Go over to France, and you'll see approximately half the Tricolores are flying upside down.

It's strange how the poles always seem to be on the left?!

 

[Bodian]

...

Indeed.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Oh dear, I forgot to buy one.

 

[Jack Straw]

Indeed.

Christ knows what I was doing there!

I was always told that Canada was supposed to be a mix of French cuisine, American know-how and British diplomacy, but ended up with British cuisine, Americal diplomacy and French knowhow.

It looks like French knowhow may have been an underrated commodity after all

And left-handed frying pans

There's nothing worse!

Bunting across the lawn of my estate.

Thanks for that - I knew there was a right way and a wrong way, but had never really 'got' which way was right.

Please iron your flags too. Nothing worse than those nylon creases. Standards. Please maintain standards for her majesty.
