Flagpoles
Does anyone here have one in their garden?
If you do, is it a 'proper' one or is it a fibreglass fishing pole, and what do you fly on it?

So do I. It's not odd at all. Flying the Union Flag upside down really gets my goat.
"It doesn' really matter" is the usual cry. It does. Could you imagine flying the Stars & Stripes upside down. Those unable to tell its top from its bottom should not fly it.
I'm not sure which is worse - flying the Union Flag upside down or the inappropriate use of apostrophes.

Flying the Union flag upside down is a sign of distress for the numpties who know no better.
I have a sectional fibre glass flagpole about 5 metres on my garage. I always fly a small white ensign but larger St George, Union, Help fo Heroes, RAF, Royal Marine flags as anniversaries present themselve. The Royal Marines flag is flown on Zeebrugge Day. An important date in R.M. History should anyone care to know.
I remember when Ian Paisley first took his seat at the European Parliament. The first thing he said was (imagine the booming ulster accent!):
Mr Speaker, when I walked into this building, I had to bear the insult of seeing the flag of my country flying upside down!
That was his first speech in Brussels! 😊
