Question Have you noticed that ...

The most St George flags shown on vehicles, in support of the England team's entry to the World Cup, appear to be on German cars/people carriers?

Why is that ????????????

In her infinite wisdom, my mum bought me a flag for the back of my bike...

I may put it on and take a picture for a giggle....

bbc radio 5 live had a phone in the other day about the flags, i could not beleive some of the comments from callers of non british origin, they reckon we should not be allowed to fly the st george cause it represents the bnp (i dont think the bnp were around 400 years ago) & we should scrap it completely & have a new flag which represents multicultural britain....i had to turn off the radio cause i felt like ripping it out of the dash and chucking it out the window !
