Tomplum I know you have a flag pole in your garden Where local can you purchase one I am thinking of having one in the back garden

PeterP

Are yoo going to fly the Jolly Roger.

I have one of those Tommy Tee

Tom

Yes I know, it was in one of your video's

At one time there was a shop up the Weind that sold flags is it still there

It appears that there is a increase in the number of properties now displaying a Union Jack!

I wonder why!

Owd Codge I have several flags, A wigan Warriors, a smiley .lest we forget. A christmas, A new year, a St Pats, a Welsh dragon, a Jolley Rodger, a St George, D day, and of course a union jack,
just saying for the ones who are quick to point fingers and say the ' R' word,

I don't think the shops still there Peter

because they all have the narrow minded stupid bigotory that you have todger .

It used to be the case that council permission was required to erect a flagpole at the front of a property....don't know about back gardens .

BB you can erect a flag pole up to 4.5 metre without planning permission any where on your property

Have you ever seen a flag Yugoslav?

I would consider one if say someone like OLIVER CROMWELL was in charge !g.b.

I forgot to mention my Maple Leaf flag which will be hoisted to Welcome my Son on his annual visit from our ' Over the Pond' colonies

Tom my youngest is due home Wednesday from a fortnights holiday to Canada

They've had good weather over there Peter, My lad is bringing it over with him. enjoy it everyone , its costing me a fortune, I'm hemorrhaging money while he;s here,

Thanks Peterp....might get one myself....and fly the skull and cross-bones

The shop in the Weind is still there, Standards. If your flying the Union flag make sure it's the right way up, otherwise it's a sign of distress, and you need assistance.

I stand corrected tuddy I go for pint in the Weind bar and hadn't noticed the shop sorry for the duff info peter

Could be that pint that's doing you Colin!

Called at the shop up the Weind he has stopped selling flags cheers anyway. Tomplum where do you get your flags from?

Peter Amazon, they are 3 ft x 5 ft and average about a fiver, Order today and they will deliver tomorrow
fly the flag

On visiting the shop up the Wiend I was told to go online for "ensign flags" but their cheapest polyester flag was £38 . You can get at least six for that price on Amazon

Tom I got my flag pole todayI presume you have to set the sleeve into a concrete base and if so what diameter hole would I need and how much of the sleeve should I sink into the ground >

Peter I drilled three holes 3/16ths thou the bottom length and screwes it to the garage wall on the apex,

Thanks Tommy I missed the '=' symbol and did not realise till I came back on,
Well done Tommy

Flag pole in position I have three flags the Union Jack St George's and a Skull and Crossbones

Glad you got your flag pole sorted, Peter. Just make sure you don't fly the flag upside down though.

Mollie M I looked on line to check which was the correct way to fly the Union Jack

Peter, In what arrangement are you flying, I do, George cross top, Union Jack below and Jolly Jack Bottom which says,
I'm an English person in the UK with a tolerance of pirates

I will save the skull and crossbones for the grandkids

Not been flying any flags for a few days now due to the rope sticking to the pole (I wrap it round the pole when not in use)with the frost plus there has been no wind so again the flag would just stick to the poleLast flag I bought was the old Lancashire flag red rose on a white background don't like the new colours which is a red rose on a golden yellow background When I get to fly a flag it will be the England flag not flown it for a few weeks
