das Posted June 15, 2018 Report Share Posted June 15, 2018 (edited) Well Dave, I think I know who Morrisons might think they will offend but who will care? Edited June 15, 2018 by das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatchap Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) Maybe some truth to it, my next neighbour works for parcelforce, and they have told all their drivers that putting a england flag of any kind on or in their van will result in a disciplinary. He says they claim its for health and safety reasons...... Something I dont have to worry about as Ireland never qualify anyway.

Harnser Posted June 16, 2018 Report Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) Lots of opinions on this thread and some very interesting ones . Just to try and put this thread into perspective as how law and order has degraded over the years . When I was about 12 years old I was caught by our local bobby riding my bike without a rear light . Believe it or not I was prosecuted and went to Norwich juvenile court where I was given a right roasting by the local magistrate and fined 10 shillings ,a whole weeks paper round money . My father clipped my ear and I was grounded for two weeks . I was made to pay the fine out of my paper round money . i doubt if anybody on here can recall the last time any body was fined for riding a bike with out a rear light . Only trying to point out how the law and values have slipped over the years . harnser oops ,this post should be under the topic ,has law and order broken down in this country . Perhaps a kind moderator could move it .thank you . Edited June 16, 2018 by Harnser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit different, I'm sure most employers wouldn't be happy if you covered work vehicles in flags or stickers, I know mine wouldn't. Either way im pretty sure this never happened...

Old Boggy Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Varying slightly from the original context, but still on flag flying, my neighbour had a large flagpole in his back garden that I found most useful when checking wind strength and direction for shooting purposes. However, he took it down for some reason several months ago, so I casually mentioned recently that I miss it. He did no more than pottered in his shed to rig up a means of raising and lowering the pole, somewhat similar to the means of lowering a boat's mast to get under bridges etc. He spent many hours welding up brackets etc so now the pole and flag are up and flying. What it is to have good neighbours. It is also good to see the Union flag and St.George's cross flown with pride. OB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
