Quote ="Foz"While were all complaining about flags and the length of time its took to take them down, how many of you put flags up for the CC Final and how long did you leave them up for? We had ours up for ages likes months after wards, and in fact still have a sticker in the window. Thats pride not chavviness. I personally would like to see more England flags about. Maybe a bit more national pride might rub off on that shower that went to Africa. It works for America where loads of people have their country's flag up.'"
Difference is fella, the Americans are very patriotic. If someone walks down the street (or boulevard!!!) and sees Old Glory, they will more than likely salute the flag.
If people walked past the red cross of St George, it's more than likely that they will contact their nearest police station/council office and complain.
