Abuse the Limeys while you can, in a few decades they'll be nothing left there but darkies, wogs, and pollocks 
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Nope. That takes a Rangers Fan (though back garden). There is a clown not far from me, who has one waving from his cheap lego conservatory in his Barratt hutch. He also loves at Xmas to adorn his entire building like a drag queen. Also where my grandmother used to live one man had not only an Union flag hanging from his veranda,but actually painted his grass blue.Xamonas Chegwé wrote:Hotels, public buildings, business premises - you can expect to see national flags on these anywhere in the world - but the national flag flying on a 30ft pole in someone's front garden in a blue-collar suberb?

Oh and the local pub next to me had complaints made because it sported a Union Flag, the Red Hand of Ulster and the Israeli flag outside.
Work that one out.
As for things that Yanks do that annoy us? Well there is one thing. Some of them keep making angry or whiny threads about how they are viewed by the rest of the world and defending themselves against such scorn and doing it in such a way to make them sound even worse.

Re: Things Americans do that Drive the Limeys Nuts.
We have less flags here in Oz than in either the US or UK. Therefore, we are better.

Loyalists have always had a sympathetic view of the old South Africa and the State of Israel, and it is fairly obvious why. Not sure why one would be puzzled.
