I note your conjunction, perhaps unconscious, of St George's Day and 
British bulldog. To me that is what being English is all about. 

Have you noticed the more insignificant the country the longer their 
national anthem?

Several years ago. A neighbour within sight of where I live ( in a no 
interest no status and not worth mentioning part of town ) Put up a flagpole 
and flew the Union Jack or the Cross of St George ( cant remember now ) 
Someone complained and he had to take it down. I was totally disgusted, but 
apparently you have to have permission to fly a flag. What total crap this 
country is.

That's interesting - I'll have to mention that to the man who lives on the 
Lower Rainham Road who, for the past 28 years (since we moved here) has 
flown a Swiss flag in his back garden.

Perhaps there's some complicated set of regulations about flags - I know 
that in 2006 when the World Cup was on, every foreign car on the road seemed 
to be sporting at least one St. George's Cross flag, which I found very 
ironic.

Interestingly I have been researching the subject.
It would appear that flying the Union Jack or as it is actually named the 
Union Flag, Does not need permission. Erecting the flagpole does. However if 
you are say Welsh, living in England and want to fly a welsh saints flag, 
then you do need permission.
So I assume if you are English living in Scotland or Wales you must seek 
permission to fly the Cross of St George.

Wasn't that stupid and offensive law scrapped?

There's no money in St George's day (yet).  Wait until its a celebration 
where we "buy stuff"....  then watch the corporate whores drape themselve in 
the nearest flag of convenience.

Actually, i'm starting to think its a good thing our flag hasn't been pimped 
out for a fast buck.
