Default England flags

Who's going to have one this year?

If I have one and see another Scooby with one, do I have to wave twice?

I was tempted to buy England packs: Seat covers, steering wheel cover, flags, seat belt cover. Thats it I think. For selling I can get them at trade for about 25 quid. But to make a meaningful profit I'd have to sell at over 30quid.
But surely no-one would want these. Would they?

A pub owner in Yarm has put up a big England flag on the front of his pub, to a) celebrate Middlesbrough in the Final, and b) to support England in this years world cup.

Guess what ??????? Yes you guessed it, complaints. He's being told by the council to take it down or risk prosecution. ????????

Bet if was a Muslin flag nothing would have been said. ******* hate this country, you can't even be proud to fly your national flag without being labeled racist

Maybe its just been taken down for being unsightly, there are rules to putting something big on display with the council etc....

Got a link to the story?

i will be wearing a flag. a pin badge of the St George Cross.. i WONT however fly one of either of my cars.... im ENGLISH born of IRISH Stock, and proud of my heritage, but also proud to be ENGLISH. im neither a thug ( HONEST) nor a neo-**** extremist.. but i feel ashamed to fly a flag from my car, due to the sentiment that anyone who does so , is a chav.

Ah yes, it's w@nker flag time again. The first car I saw with them fitted when I was out on saturday morning was a mondeo driver cutting someone up then going into a screaming rage at them for no apparent reason.

Like foglights on with sidelights, they generally indicate the driver is a fcukwit and is best avoided.

Great idea.

I don't think I'll have an England flag.
1. Because I'm not English
2. As I get bad enough fuel consumption without adding extra
3. If I left it parked in Glasgow someone would probably torch the car.

Remember euro 2004, everyone flying the flag because they were proud to be English. Day after we go out EVERY car had taken them down around here only ones to be found were lying in the gutter.

instead you want 2?


i have kinda set up this competition at work to see who can sell the most, tbh im not fully sure how i managed this but that's the way it ended up and everybody has a different tally sheet so we can compare scores, which i pretend to be really interested in

all i want is the cash

2 blokes pull up in a Suzuki vitara

thought i would try some salesmanship

me: morning,
bloke : morning, can i have a £6 wash please?
me: no probs sir, can i interest you in some of our world cup car flags?
bloke : you taking the ****en ****? we are Scottish?

me laughing: ahh that makes no difference, you lot are a bit crap and you will be knocked out straight away so you want to be supporting the lads! we would do it for you lot if we had a crap team
bloke in passenger seat : ha ha ha ha ha ha
bloke : just give me my ****en change you cheeky ****er
