Got it wrong.

Our Conservative Club has been photographed this morning flying the Union Jack upsidedown.

:-0..... :-S

Shouldn't you phone the police and get them to the club to ask why they are flying a distress signal? It could be an emergency. Perhaps they've run out of beer. :-S

:-D

Perhaps it was subconscious - the UK is going down the pan? ;-)

Since you are being pedantic Magoo, was the Conservative club at sea?

Thought not.

It was the Union Flag then and not the Union Jack.

It was a shame it was upsidedown nevertheless. One of those little picky points that makes Britain Britain.

Sharron - my son would be proud of you! He hates the Union Flag to be called the Union Jack.

Ok Sharron stand corrected.


The Conservative Club is in the High St so in full view.
And to get it wrong on this Sunday :-S

It will be the Union Jack in the paper, you can be sure of that!

What an interesting article.

Thank you for pointing it out.

I had a vague memory of it being ok now. I'm not sure my dad would have approved, though.

Isn't the crux of everything you believe what your dad would think though?

Whether you like it or not, your old dad is always still in control, godammit"
