Flag = Chav or BNP member.

It's funny you say that, I've just moved to the US and I'm quite pleased at how much of the flag you see here, you'd never mistake where you were and it's certainly not because they're Chavs or members of the BNP. Some of the towns have HUGE flags flying, makes a nice change.

My local church was flying the cross of St. George yesterday and it was quite a stunning sight, completely unlike the crappy plastic England flags appearing on cars across the country as we speak. They are crap because they are 50p tat, not because of what they represent.

Yeah, I think that sums it up, there's a flag in the town near us, which is just huge, biggest flag I've seen ever, when it slowly flutters on a sunny day it's quite some sight.

I tend to think the only cars that should have flags on belong to embassies, but can't say it offends me greatly.

in scotland, we burn those english flags

[samuelellis]

we fly either the union jack of St Georges cross pretty much the entire year round in our back garden

In regards to the flags on the car - never in a million years, that is even if you could find a plain flag without something written on it. Fhe funnyist thing i saw recently was a small 106 that had a total of 16 flags on it - all the way along the top of the rear and front windows (yes 8 on each side)

I had a difference of opinion about flags on cars a few years ago with an ex manager who accused me of being unpatriotic as i didnt have a flag on my car and he did, he didnt see the irony when I pointed out i was driving a Rover and he was driving a BMW

I did have a flag on one of my rear head rests facing out the back window but it kept falling off so I binned it, replaced with a couple of window stickers for the duration of England's participation. I get a bit bored with all the "Oh, you appear to have an England flag on your car so must therefore be a chav/BNP supporter" bandwagon jumpers.

I have a small flag on my number plates, but the tacky plastic ones are a bit ste. Not trying to seem unpatriotic, just don't want some 50p plastic tat on my car (Renault put enough parts inside it like that when it was built )

So your flag will be up for the group stages and the first quarter finals

I'm going to get a one for my car and yes it is a crap car and yes I probably would be seen as a chav by PH standards but I honestly couldn't give a toss.

And how did Scotlands qualification go??

Spotted a white Saxo yesterday with a red cross over the roof and down the boot/bonnet. It looked a little wonky and when I caught him up realised he'd used lines of red tape, some it had started to come off in places.

[iwantanalfa]

Sums it up I think.

[goldblum]

Anyone who says flying one of these flags is patriotic is a liar.It's the one time these shameless (k?)nobheads think they have some kind of approval to openly demonstrate their idiotic tribalism.Always the same stty cars.Probably the same people who daub the outside of their house with Christmas lights.

...and even if they get there, they never book a hotel for the second week

[sebhaque]

I like the gesture but yeah, it's usually a mouth breather at the other end of the flag. Probably doesn't even know which flag is which, poor chap.

I spotted a temporary England tattoo packet earlier at home. My mate loves football, but am I the only one who thinks a temporary tat is taking it a bit too far? I love my country but surely that kind of thing is a bit... excessive?

[crmcatee]

I was convinced they were a warning to other drivers of a chav being onboard.

2006 World cup in Germany, we had a holiday on the Norfolk Broads around the same time...and well, it had to be done..

We christened her "Chav Boat"



A lot of the flags got taken off by a low bridge....

Having them on cars is bad enough but due to the cheapness they're already falling off and littering the countryside.

Absolute cr@p.

[Marquis_Rex]

I wouldn't mind having a Union jack on my Dodge Ram out here in the US. I think it would go down very well. I doub't anyone would know what a St Georges Cross is- they'd probably confuse it with the Red cross and think I was driving an ambulence or something.

Is it possible to get a Union Jack instead?

[anonymous-user]

What a bunch of po-faced spoilsports.

It's the first world cup in decades that England could actually win. What's wrong with people decorating their cars with flags? If you went abroad and saw the locals doing this you'd probably think it looked great.

Just enjoy it.
