My neighbour has a flagpole with the St Georges Cross.
He lives in Portugal for 10 months of the year.
No evidence that he is a racist chav but he is definitely a bellend.
I was thinking about this last night.
Living in Scotland I would not be offended if an English neighbour flew the St George's cross flag. If he's proud of being English, why not?
However I would be somewhat antagonistic if he flew the Butcher's Apron.
Edinburgh council stole my flagpole ( well the mountings for it)
I wanted to fly flags from it as well and am most annoyed about it
This is the America that has a flypast for every football game and where children pledge allegiance at the start of every day… Fascist superstate much?
Having lived in America this used to irk me and question how free the 'land of the free' is.
Would it put me off? Depends how close your neighbour is, and the state of the rest of their house and garden.
But basically yes, it would.
We're not a flag nation are we? So I might be a tad put off by the flagpole. But at least he has made the effort in erecting the pole. Most bellends just drape their flag of choice out of the bathroom window.
I suppose it's not much worse than someone who wears more than four metal pin badges.
Is that BoJo's house?
Not at all unless it was close enough to hear the noise it can make. However I can see how the whiney soft handed office wallahs would cry in hysteria and feel the only option would be to vent their fury on stw. Lunch time over.
It is strange behaviour to feel the need to fly a flag in your garden for sure.
I actually know of one person personally who fairly recently put up a flag pole and started flying a flag in their garden - he is very well known for being a very strange fella to be fair, so ...
I think Marin might be a little over protective of his wee flaggywag.
😆
Coming back to the original question it can put people off a house.
When the house next door to a friend of mine went up for sale he hung a flag out the window and filled his front yard with empty beer cans. His best mate ended up buying the house, apparently there had been very little interest after first viewings.
