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.

Oh Ann, this is marvellous! The flags around our way are from all nations: lots from T&T, Ghana, Brazil and Poland...and of course lots of England flags. They are all starting to look a bit frayed now.

Our upstairs neighbour has put an Italian flag out of the window, so everyone must think we are Italian...the rebel in me wants to put a French flag out of ours just to confuse people!
