New Driving Law
In order to assist other motorists in identifying potentially dangerous drivers, it's now compulsory for anyone with a lower than average driving ability to display a warning flag (comprising of a red cross on a white background) attached to the top of at least one door of their vehicle.

For drivers of exceptionally low ability, additional flags are required.

The flag in question with the red cross on a white background is called St. George's Cross, or England's flag. Clearly this is offensive to many people living in our country.

On my bike,van,and house.( My mate has one permanently on a flagpole attached up near the roof of his house).It's the only time I can do so without being branded a racist.

Don't worry Ariel, Ian is only skitting at the drivers not the flag. Hang on a minute, that means he's skitting at me too. Now where's me longbow gone?

No offence meant to either patriots or footy fans, just a light-hearted dig at the "how many flags can I fit on my car before it takes off" brigade
