Antics and Appliances: abandoned flags

Antics and Appliances: abandoned flags

Hi Adele

good to hear from you, your observation highlights the muliplicities of nationalities in your home area and questions about belonging I suppose, especially when you live in an-other place. Our discussion at the museum arose out of a question of whether it was a sign of xenophobia to have an England flag on your house or car. Is this a particularly English preoccupation, something the middle classes feel uncomfortable with, whereas other nationalities do not have this problem. The history of Englands colonising past I suppose!
