purdyamos   10 #13 Posted May 30, 2006 I agree that they should be much more securely fixed - if one comes off on the motorway and sticks to someone's windscreen that's very dangerous. But I don't find the flag-flying inherently stupid. If it makes the George Cross a normal symbol of the people again, taking it back from the far right, I'm all for it.

bossd   10 #14 Posted May 30, 2006 Grumpy old man syndrome. Why does it bother you that people are patriotic. Do you have / have you had wheel trims ??? They could have fallen off. Have a hanging air freshener???? Could block your view. Changed tape/cd while driving??? Could have caused an accident. Stop moaning and let people represent their country if they wish.  ps. Its only gonna get worse!!!!!!!!!  COME ON ENG-ER-LAND:banana: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

slh73 Â Â 32 #17 Posted May 30, 2006 I agree. What happens when one of them comes off a car, gets blown in front of my helmet, and I crash my motorbike into a crowd of schoolkids and mothers crossing the road? Theyre not only a hazard, they look crap. Ive also noticed that 99% of cars that fly them have crap drivers behind the wheel. I followed an Audi A8 along from Meadowhall to Attercliffe tonight who had 4 flying. Couldnt make his mind up which lane he wanted, never indicated, and had a brake light out.

scribe   10 #18 Posted May 30, 2006 You don't know me so i won't support your idea .It's petty anyway if some one wants to put a flag on to their car so what .There not exactly a danger to any-one ,as for the ones falling of the cars there are more fag ends ,sweet wrappers and god knows what on the streets a few flags don't make any difference.

Nicholarse   10 #20 Posted May 30, 2006 I suppose there's a sort of poetry/irony to the fact that supporting your country so often walks hand in hand with stupidity.  1st world war. What was that about? Killing people in the name of the flag.  Sticking stupid flags on vehicles which travel at 70mph. What's that about?  NM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
NJMUK Â Â 10 #21 Posted May 30, 2006 when they fall off they cause rubbish on the curbside, which SOMEONE has to pick up - people should use common sense! Â Simply pathetic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
