None round here....

There are none around here either, I have managed to find an old one in the shed. Interesting fact out of the five cars / vans seen today sporting the flag three were Land Rovers!
Yes, but the reason why there are none round here is more due to the fact that everyone around here was voting yesterday for the new president!

Just about every Tacky Shop ("everything a pound, except that that isn't") and garage around here! Quite a lot have "Come on England " crossed out.....

I'm assuming you mean in french-land rather than Gordon Brown ;-)
Oui.
Some of my pupilsasked me today who I voted for. They were astonished to find that I have no right to vote. Especially as I pay taxes here.
I think the American colonists had a phrase: No taxation without representation!

president!
Well I understand that the original St George was French ! (or maybe Norman??)

Posibly born in Turkey. Never set foot in the England. Was made patron saint after battle of Agincourt ISTR (a long time after his death!), and is also patron saint of lots of other places ... including Moscow .....
Interestingly only 18% of the population have any idea about the 23rd of April ......
I've been trying that for years, but even threatening to throw some PG Tips in the Cauldon canal hasn't helped.

You'll have to move to Boston. Lincolnshire, I believe.
Doesn't that go for most Mondays?

Yet they still do it, only US citizens can vote!
Lived in Turkey but probably born in Palestine.
