Where are all the England flags?

[Maggot]

I saw a car with some England flags on today - and it struck me that I hadn't seen any until then. Normally when England qualify for a major tournament, the England flags are everywhere. Why are there hardly any this year? Or maybe you've seen loads where you are?

 

[Mr.Bishie]

All up around where we live. The Jubilee bunting has been left up too!

Lack of usual hype as we've only a mediocre team this time.

Thankfully there's also no cut out and keep Rooney metatarsals in The Sun for worshipping either.

A few cars round my way had little union jacks on for the jubilee, it is all very very shit.

Lots of uj bunting all over the place and a few Eng flags about

I've only seen one car with England flags on. Some of the pubs have England and Ireland flags up, but you're right, there's a distinct lack of flags this time around. Are Tescos etc actually selling them? Do we only put them up if we think we're gonna win the championships?

 

[skyscraper101]

Yes of course.

I've seen a few, not as many as usual. I think a lot of people (like me) can't be bothered any more.

Although I did put one in my window at work in a kind of halfhearted way.

I haven't even got a wallchart this year.

I've been teaching the local kids a new game.

You hide in the bushes until a car with flags on goes by and then you jump out and just stick your bat out

I think the Jubilee weekend took away a lot of the flag waving fervour. Some probably think England's flag is the Union jack anyway.

I haven't even got a wallchart this year.

me neither. It's really annoying. I keep having to refer to the BBC website to remind me of the previous results. <...goes off to find one to print out...>

 

[dessiato]

Rosie Jones has a big one.

 

[Blagsta]

Quite a few round here.

 

[ddraig]

good
less of them the better!

 

[Ax^]

If you get thru the group stage they'll come out


If...

 

[friedaweed]

I think the title 'Where are all the England fans?' would do as well
