Flying a flag

[Simpo Two]

So a flag comes with a toggle affixed to the top. How do you then fix it to a flagpole? Googling 'how to fly a flag' achieves precisely nothing!

Do you just tie the line round it or is there a cleverer way?

The rope on the flagpole should have a loop on the end.
It really is that simple.

Simple, cable ties and bungee cords

Ah, I have just a small wooden crosstree. I'll improvise!

What flag is it?

[Simpo Two]

Just two pennants, not very big, one to fly on each side.

Not trying to be a party pooper cos I don't care if you have a flag on your house or not but it might be relevant to know that, unless it's a national flag, you will need planning permission to put it up.

[Simpo Two]

It's on a boat.

Gotcha

[ShadownINja]

"it might be relevant".

Erm, correct me if I've misunderstood, but the wind doesn't blow in two directions at once

Foul! Your post implies that I need planning permission whether it's on a house or not - ie that I need planning permission even if it's on a boat.

Only if you're drunk.

What about if it's on a houseboat?

Oh shut up, I can't take your internet bragging anymore- I suppose you've got more than one directorship, an MX5 and a diesel BMW too!

No, just one quite small boat. But two pennants. Oh and a flag at the back, but that's OK.

Mind you it woud be fun to paint it battleship grey and fit dummy torpedo tubes...

DO IT!!

And I think a Japanese Admiral's uniform just to top it off.

Shouldn't be any trouble finding mooring spaces then!!

I don't understand the bit about the costume... are you somewhere else?
