Have you seen many England flags flying? I've been out and about in different areas, and just seen a handful on cars.

What's it like where you live?

The Cross of saint George flag Kay is the flag of England and is what you would expect to see flying in support of the English Football team... :-) white with a red cross.

Not noticed a lot yet but I haven't really been looking. The hairdressers where we have just been had streams of flags across the room. We went in for their sweep and OH got Brazil. (I got Croatia!!!!).

Luke-warm support for England. What a shame!

Still, things will improve when England returns with the cup!

Have not seen any on cars yet, but a few of the neighbours have their flags out, one of them is a lovely 86 year old and has a lovely garden and very Christmas when she's at home all the fairy lights go up and she really makes a show. When it was the Queens diamond Jubilee she really went to town even got her photo in the local paper. People come from from miles around to see the garden.

I'm no expert on football matters. So, I don't want to, kind of, pontificate on issues I don't really understand - as long as England wins through.

England has little idea what success feels like just lately. I wonder where the triumphant celebrations will take place? A good opportunity too for Boris Johnson to demonstrate his new watering toys. They’ll cool things down.
