pachapapa Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Lokks like MAM will be tightening up on the law regarding the correct use of the national flag in private, efter a FNAC photo competition drew unfavourable indignation from local Veteran Groups in Nice. But will the proposed legislation include other nations? http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/images/B001NFU2EA/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=468292&s=kids [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gluestick Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I'm with the French government 100% on this issue.Treating one's national flag and anthem with respect is a core part of national pride.Interestingly, when we bought our French house, a cupboard in the loo contained a number of items; which included a loo roll with US dollar bills images printed on it..................

Will Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Trouble is, Gluey, and sadly, that marks you down as a supporter of the far right.At least the previous occupants of your French house had paper, and a loo. In our bit of France they tend to go outside, wherever there are suitable leaves [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dog Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 It's only a bit of cloth what's to get excited about.I don't get upset about Gluey wearing his nicely ironed brown shirt and the verbal poubelle some say he spouts. Incidentally I wonder if he has small flags flying on the wings of his Horsch?There is little or no reason for national flags and I'd be happy if they were consigned to history.
