Welsh people and the flag

[theshrew]

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 ?

Their

HTH boyo

Proud.........& what a flag it is too!

[SoapyShowerBoy]

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.

I think its brilliant they wave the flag so much, I wish we did.

I can't understand why the Scots do though, I mean what the hell is Scotland? it was bloody pictland until we took it under our wing and not a real country

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.

It's fine as long as you aren't bothered about what you look like.

it is a cool flag but...Wales isn't a country so what's going on there?

and as for the Cornish one, you're English so get over it!

[GKP]

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.

If they Welsh show the flag, it means the publicly hate the English. If the don't show the flag, the hate the English but haven't got the bks to say it!

Congratulations you have just lowered the tone.

You fking idiot

[The Ben]

que?

[The Nur]

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
