Flag holder

[Nick-Mandy]

We needed the Union Jack flying whilst we toured France last year, so I made a flag holder to fit on our back box.
I don't think the french were amused !

Bet your van could break the sound barrier down the falls road in Belfast with that on the back.

Obviously I can swap it for a Spanish national flag before I alight at Santander

There’s nothing wrong with flying the Jack. My thoughts are that it should be able to be seen by Brits coming towards you but where you have it sort of explains things, to the locals, if you make a mistake!

Yep some folk here would be glad to stick it up your ass.

The only reason its on the back box is .... I couldn't see the box in my monitor and some kind of attachment allowed me to know the back box was still there
I have thought about gluing one to the roof at the front.

Interesting, I wonder what the protocol is for vans? On our barge in France it would have been illegal to fly a Union Jack, the British Consul would have been entitled to board us and seize it! Only British warships in harbour are permitted. Us peasants were only allowed the red ensign.
Best I can find on vehicles is…
Funny old business.

Crikey! Didn’t realise it was so restricted.
