Any kind of patriotic display is my idea of hell.

last time i saw that many of those flags was a national front march

there is a family run dairy farm down the road from me that have a flagpole by the farmhouse and they rotate their flags. Sometimes they have a union jack that has some kind of sinister looking masonic symbol on it and they other odd looking ones that I couldn't i.d. At the moment they have St Georgie cross and a Ukrainian flag under it. Sometimes the old boy stops + chats + offers me an apple from their orchard while driving past on his dinky little tractor and trailer. I daren't ask him what the symbol on the union flag is as I'm already fearful he may be grooming me for some kind of human sacrifice ritual.

there's a new flagpole in the park, has been there about 6 months and i've never seen a flag on it.

Just back from being in Scotland for a week, you see a lot of flags up there - Scottish flags, of course.

i saw a couple of tiny ones this morning in a windowbox which made me realise i hadn't seen them. the block by the shops which is usually draped in them has nothing.

Sadly if England improvise a bit of Purcell over those sweet Senegalese textures to get to the quarters we will see more of this shit.
― xyzzzz__, Friday, 2 December 2022 11:27 (one year ago) link
only seen 1 of those plastic car ones so far. i'm guessing that no retailers bothered stocking them due to general pre-tournament antipathy, so any you see would've been kept from last time?

Feels a bit like that with Christmas this year. I mean, obvs there's Christmas stuff about the gaffe in town but it all seems a bit rote and "can't be arsed"

As an aside I posted it here because I streetviewed round a few British cities looking for flags, and there are a lot fewer than I remembered/imagined. I have a feeling they somewhat ubiqutuous but streetview seems to suggest otherwise!

it's Scandinavia you need to go to if you want to see national flags everywhere

I tried two Scandinavian cities and they both failed the 100 click street view challenge (how many flags can you see in 100 movements)

lots of tiny flags in hammersmith, strung tightly from lamp post to lamp post.
one of the post-v1* houses a couple of roads over has a couple of large ones and some bunting.
park flagpost, not yet.
(* there's a gap in a terrace filled with two obviously cheaply-built blocks. graffiti in the plaster work is dated 1945)
