Last year I finished the work in my front garden and added a flagpole! St. George is being celebrated in Luton. The flagpole also came with the union flag and I bought a pirate flag in honour of all the pirate sofware that I run. Coming soon......... A windsock for National Condom Week. ( Just so I can brag!) A pair of frilly bloomers just to be different. Any other ideas?

There are loads of places online to buy one. Who buys them I do not know as I have never seen another one. There are dozens of different designs and my problem was picking one that accurately reflected my personality!

I tried to have an animated St George's flag as a screensaver on my laptop at work, but was told by my boss to get rid of it because (and then nodded towards my Asian friend behind me!). And then walked off in a huff. So I took it down, but then spoke to Mashish (my Asian friend) about it and she laughed her socks off, and then showed me her mobile phone which had a St George's wallpaper on it!

Does this give anyone else images of David Brent?

The more holidays the better in my view. Diane, your story is so typical of many people's experiences. It has become almost immoral to fly or put up a Saint George's flag in England in case someone is been offended. So irritates me. You go to France or Italy you see the tricolore flying every there with pride. Here in Australia the Aussie flag hangs with pride everywhere and many people have a pic of it on their phone or computer. But in London and other parts of England it is rare to see a Saint George flag flying let alone a union flag. People seem to think by flying or showing a flag you are in some way an arch nationalist or even racist as it has connections with certain extreme nationalist groups. My view is let's reclaim the flag as our own and be proud to fly it because by not doing so for the reasons above all we do is let the extremists win. So fly your flag with pride and enjoy being English. It's not really a sin you know

She certainly is a tart, and a petty tart at that: fearful woman. Spends too much time worrying about what her staff are doing/wearing/talking about, than doing her own job - whatever that may be

So yeah, she is our very own David Brent ;D
