Hopefully someone will be able to tell me why Welsh people always seem to display there flag ? ( im just interested not having a go )

For eg

You see loads and loads and loads of cars with a sticker of the Welsh flag on them. You tend not to see this in England or Scotland apart from when its the World Cup or Euro's.

Why is this ? Does it mean something or just proud to be Welsh ?

Patriotism is engraved from a young age. They are proud to be Welsh. Unfortunately the same thing in England is now confused with racism and a front for football hooligans.

And Cornish. Well, at least they are proud of their heritage.

Oh, thats a good start to a thread. What flag would be great to show?

I would like one made from our family coat of arms.

No. No it is NOT!

It is FINE to have an England flag on your car. It is fine to hang one out the window during Rugby internationals (as well as football). Nowt wrong with it.

We're just proud of our national flag.

It's also got to be THE best flag in the world.

A Welsh flag sticker in Wales will mean it won't get targetted by local boyo crims. A Cornishland sticker in the pay and display carpark in Looe means the 6 toed scrote will move on to a grockle's car instead.

etc.

It's a pretty cool flag in my opinion. Just look at how much crap there is out there (I'm thinking of Libya mostly).

Damned right. It's got a frikkin' dragon on it, ferchrissakes - how cool is that?

When I become King, the Union Flag will be redesigned with a ninja death star on it, or something.

so by publicly displaying the flag you think we hate the english? Where the fk do you get that from?

Personally I though it was more to do with displaying a love for our country and our heritage, not to try and distance ourselves from our neighbours
