Redwing Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Has already been hit by a plastic England flag which pinged off the car in front and travelled at the speed of light straight at you? My car has been hit three times this week and is now sporting a dashing scratch on the bonnet Why do people feel the need to buy those darn things? bah humbug Rant over...and breathe..

Lesley Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I took Lauren and Jake 'school holiday shopping' last week and Jake had 99p left to spend..........he chose a set of 2 flags "for Daddy's car" ...............I think Daddy suggested he attached them to his bike I haven't seen any yet either - but I don't do a lot of driving. I bet you're glad you don't drive a convertible Tasha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I could always send you a couple ANH? Blasted things are everywhere! I have seen a couple of them in the gutter. What happened to hanging a scarf from the window. (That makes me sound like a huge foottie fab - which I'm not). Bad luck Tasha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Even my Avon lady has put a note in with her book....she's selling flags! Horrid looking nasty things. Call me a grump, but I hate them & football! We went out to the pub for tea last night & they are doing a Wags evening after the match tomorrow - all nail pamper treatments.

Sheilaz Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Still don't get it Neither ANH nor Warrensworld live in England, hence the lack of England flags. Took me a while to realise what they meant at first too Tom, we're surounded by flags here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 They're obviously too reticent to say that Scotland, Wales and Ireland are even worse at football than England? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 apparently increases your fuel consumption having the flags on the car, due to incresed drag ..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I ahve to say it must have been sticking out at an odd angle - all the ones I've seen are vertical and on windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Well I live in Essex where it is required to have at least a dozen Ingerland flags on your person at any given time....However the flags havn't gone up here yet but I do have some bunting to put up. James has some Ingerland crocs and we are having the Ingerland themed birthday party next Saturday. In the town where I work people are not having flags hanging from their windows they've all been putting up FLAGPOLES! Of course all this is in Essex - a county which can be seen from Mars in December (or next Saturday here as we always put the Christmas lights on when we have our Summer party - so anyone coming after dark can find us!).

welovemarmite Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 there is one car in the villiage with england flags on, its an 'incomer' most of the neighbours are hatching a plan to snap them off in the middle of the night.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tutti Frutti Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Only flags??? I'm so jealous! The local "well known" family has been to Sainsburys and bought their 8 year old son (who knows the "Agincourt" salute )... an ENGLAND TRUMPET!!! AAAAGH! I feel like buying one and blowing it non-stop when they've gone to bed (but obviously, I'd let the other neighbours know first ). Only the father probably wouldn't even be able to hear as he sits in his car blaring out music/cricket at all hours of the night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 They're obviously too reticent to say that Scotland, Wales and Ireland are even worse at football than England? Wales may not be in the world cup, however we are a small nation of 3 million people, so when you compare that to the 56 million people in England we don't do too badly I mean there are nearly 20 times the number of people in England. I could quote Welsh geniuses of the beautiful game, however, will restrict to 2 modern masterpieces Craig Bellamy and Ryan Giggs both Welsh team stars, and we have up and coming stars too that are already making their names known in the first team in the Wales squad like Aaron Ramsey (with "Ooops, word censored!"nal) and Joe Ledley (Currently sticking with his welsh roots at Cardiff), and of course, as a general rule, football is second behind rugby to most.... now we certainly give England a run for their money with the funny shaped ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goosey Lucy Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Seen lots of discounted flags and things in the local supermarket but not a single one outside it. Then again for the last 2 weeks we've had 6 trillion bikers zooming around and nothing else gets a look in. I much prefer men in leathers than shorts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treekeeper Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I've got a 20 foot flagpole up flying a proud England flag. It's about time we had a bit of national pride and I hope our team do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
