History of the English Flag:

It's a shame that the flag only ever seems to be displayed when there are England footy games on, although I did notice quite a few on some old English country churches when I was home recently. I know a lot of town halls won't display the England flag 'in case' it upsets cultural sensitivities ie. seen as 'racist'...

Happy St George's Day. I love today.

I fly my flag. I know the Scots & Welsh are proud to fly theirs, so we shouldn't be ashamed!
