Well, do you fly or even display a flag - if so what and where ???

I have a union jack and an ulster flag outside the house and a Hawaii state and irish rugby flag stickers on my pc at work

Thanks to the conferderate flag thread for the idea

I have an England flag sticker on the back of my car. I want one of those historic American flags with the union jack in the corner instead of the stars to hang outside the house but haven't got round to it yet.

We have a Welsh flag outside the house and a Cymru bumper sticker on the van . Not bad considering hubby is a Londoner! The bumper sticker is the only way I can find my van in a parking lot!

I have the St George's cross license plate on the front of my car.
Down here people think its some variation of the Alabama state flag!
When I tell them its the English flag, they look all confused.

We have Union Jack's on the back of each car, plus my wife has the licence plate "UK*MUM"....she refused to have UK*MOM

We fly the flag outside the house on St George's day and also flew it for one week last July after the London bombings.
