Typical French

[cotswoldlad]

Le Mans LMP2, we beat the French on their own turf and guess what, they put our flag upside down!

[Graham]

Well I guess they were in distress

[SlipStream77]

What's typical about it?

[Hartge210]

Happens plenty of times over here too...

I wouldn't have noticed.

I didn't know that the British flag had a "right way" up. Actually, I doubt anyone but an OCD Pom would know that.

Settle Down!

Oh and have a look in the top corner of your own flag....

"God Save YOUR gracious Queen etc."

Broad white stripe uppermost next to flag pole, yes, just as in your Aussie flag.
Long may our association continue.

In other flag related news from Le Mans, we were down at Arnage watching the qualifying on Thursday evening, and the marshalls were wving a white flag.

My mate turned to me and asked "What does a white flag mean ?". I replied "We're in France, what do you *think* it means ?!!"

[Fume troll]

Now I'm annoyed that our flag doesn't have the four axes of symmetry which I'd always assumed it had. I think we should change it.

Cheers,

FT.

I would be upset if i hadn't been too busy laughing at the fact they couldn't get their own flag hoisted properly

So the Germans beat the French again on home soil - what alert state are we at this week, collaborate?
