If that is the case then we are big time swingers. I have different varieties of grass in front and at the back, 2 of them at about 10ft tall right now

maybe you could take a minute to figure our how the "multi-quote" thing works and do it all as one post

I'll get right on that

The 2 Scottish national flags and the Nova Scotia flag are very similar indeed, and I like it

Been in Court for most of the day.

I do find it bizarre that being proud of something indicates superiority and find it totally bizarre that flying a flag of one's country could ever be offensive. I guess I am more tolerant than others

I also find it bizarre that people wish to assume that people are making a point that is not obvious by doing everyday things.

Well there was a pretty big linkage to the NF for many years so that linkage did tend to be offensive or distasteful to many, me included, perhaps 10-20 yrs ago maybe, no doubt influenced by locality also.

Less so now the Union Jack & its components more assoc with sport now, but then I don't particularly want to be associated with football either

Flying a flag is a bit like having a giant inflatable santa on your lawn at christmas - there's nothing especially wrong with it other than it just being a bit naff.

Must be the same folks from the other thread, that think remembrance day is pointless? It's not any different than flaunting that you are a Novocastrian, a pool, spurs, Barca or Milan fan

I think you'd have to be pretty old not to have grown up with that association and to think of the flag as first being that of the NF and then that of the football team. Sure, one can argue that the flag isn't necessarily offensive, just as the swastika is an ancient good luck symbol, but flying it outside an ordinary house is a finger raised either to Catholics or to the enemies of the NF, depending on location within the UK. Flying such a flag is offensive to some and achieves nothing, there's need for such rudery. The local equivalent would be the Confederate flag, something one sees more than often enough.

Ultrarunner is apparently in the army so as a result everyone on this forum owes him some debt of gratitude.

Based on previous poster performance it may be too much to expect it to have meaning in the traditional sense...
