abandoned flags

The kitchen Antics team had a discussion about the current use of st georges flags attached to houses and cars during the world cup. The following action developed on the car journey from the museum in Barnet to the county bounday sign of Oxfordshire. I counted 202 flags with my colleague Hilary, strewn along the hard shoulder and edges of the motorway.

After the quarter final match of England and Portugal, I met a man at the local recycling centre, who jokingly asked me "where's the skip for the England flags then, I recited the story of the flags strewn along along the motorway the day before the match.
