Stan Tamudo Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 The St George`s Cross should be flown on ALL council and Government buildings all year round. Would you prefer kosher flags bought at taxpayers expense or flags that have fallen off the back of a lorry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saffy Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 It's because the Queen went to visit Chatsworth in July and they've not taken them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkleyAndy Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 Its the classic Sheffield Forum "route to an answer": Sensible question asked Unnecessarily confrontational response immediately given Circuitous patriotic debate Reference to Hitler Answer reached This was a comparatively efficient thread though as: 1.We got to an answer 2.No reference was made to Islam 3.No reference was made to EGGS BENEDICT 4.No one said they didn't like Toby Foster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GHS1961 Posted September 5, 2014 Share Posted September 5, 2014 It's because the Queen went to visit Chatsworth in July and they've not taken them down. That's not the case as the flags have been up well before her visit and in any case she never closer than Rowsley. They were actually raised as part of the L'Eroica Brittanica, a vintage cycle weekend held in the town in June. Initially as the traders liked them it was decided to keep them up for the town's carnival week and due to lots of positive feedback they've been up ever since.

lawsom34 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Why? What purpose would it serve? I agree it should be flown on all such like buildings as it is our national flag that we all should be proud of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I agree it should be flown on all such like buildings as it is our national flag that we all should be proud of. I really don't understand how you can be proud of a piece of cloth with a pattern on it. That does not mean I am not patriotic, merely that I find this whole jingoistic, flag-waving nonsense rather silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saffy Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I'm certainly not patriotic, but my daughter who aged 22 is and on her way to work the day the queen came to visit 12th July I believe, she said it was really lovely to see all the old people from the care homes (we have a few) outside at the side of the A6 waving their flags. For them, this was probably a huge deal, and they must have felt they were part of something really special, so if this makes them happy, then I'm truly glad the effort was made to decorate with flags.
