I'm a republican. However, given the failure of democratically elected politicians in the UK I also think it is just as well we have had a monarchy. WRT the flag it's too garish. It was ok in the psychedelic 60's, Kings Road and all that.. We need a new design without all those crosses on.

The flag is not Garish IMO but is very distinct. It is also very popular out here in Asia and is used to 'decorate' many items in the shops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, it's been suggested you take this elsewhere, since this is a cafe thread and meant to be a lighthearted discussion of gratuitous flag symbols.

As I started it, it's my thread, so I dictate that you start this somewhere else.

I've started it here... Ma'am

She's OK with Betty, but only if like me, you know her really well.

Is that tour something to do before you go "around the world"?

M&M's seen with red, white and blue packets yesterday, also Opal fruits with a variation on the flag design in different fruitier colours.

It didn't work, we didn't buy any.

I saw inflatable flags in Poundland today. Inflatable so one doesn't even need to wave it!

NT and I went into a the poundshop (for individual lasagne dishes, which they had), and there was a positive cacophony of red white and blue things, including drinking straws. Presumably, one has to have three straws per drink.

M and S was also fairly heavy on the Union Flag branded stuff.

To make it clear just how lazy one could be, the flag was inflated in a wavy shape, so it was actually pre-waved....

How much are they?

Errrr, didn't check but I reckon maybe a pound? Don't know how many pounds they give you to take one away though.

At work we've been getting through an alarming number of red, white and blue 'French' Fancies.
Although I'm celebrating the Jubilee by buggering off abroad for a bit...

Yebbut if you've got a tinny in one hand and a fag in the other how else are you going to remain flag-wavingly patriotic?

 

[MontyVeda]

the cigarette displays seem completely unpatriotic... the fag-mongering bastards!
