The neighbours have put Union Jack flags across their hedge.

Yes Moved I agree, we are very lucky, compared to many other countries

I would not have a Union flag in/on my house but I fly the Saltire on a daily basis. I sent my Saltire to Barra with the DGC who were flying in, so that as the ferry turned into Castlebay, we could see it (pegged out on the washing line!) at 'our' house and 3 small figures, in their pyjamas, doing star jumps and waving like mad until we docked.

Flags are powerful symbols.

Well done your dad harri

Quite right to celebrate a royal baby. When I was born my father and elder sister placed a union jack on top of the Anderson shelter, it alerted the neighbours to the fact that I had arrived .... at last

Oh dear Frank are they lowering the tone of the area how awful of them, have you complained yet ? maybe they enjoy the showing of their alligence to the Monarchy.
My flag has been outside since yesterday and drawn many comments none of which have been negative

I'm with jane on this. Let's look for things to enjoy rather than things to moan about. We are lucky to live in such a great country!

Aren't there rules about when flags may be flown? But probably not about being draped over hedges.

DH said earlier "What's the bets Tesco is all decked out"

Going later, I'll let you know

I will probably pass several houses on the way displaying flags. Whatever flloats their boat !!

Why is this history? Just another prospective king.
A girl would have been history.

I love to see the British showing allegiance and pride in their country. I have the Union Flag as well as the Saltire which I use depending on what occasion and also the Australian flag which I drape out of my upstairs windows when the family arrive on rare visits from the Antipodes. Nothing wrong with a bit of pride - you are so stuffy Frank

Do you object to the union flag, Frank? Are you an English nationalist?

Frank We had a Golden Jubilee party in our back garden in 2002. We had lots of Union Jacks. Any excuse to party

Draw you curtains Frank

That's ok Frank I doubt very much if it's "pay to view"

I can see it from my window.

Frank

Why not, if that's what they want to do?

British history in the making Frank.
