To my horror a Palace flag

The Spurs one flying between Newhaven and Seaford needs burning down. Respect to the Patcham resident who has a BHA one on the flagpole in his front garden and also the caretaker at Downs Junior School, who often runs a BHA flag up the school pole during half terms/weekends.

That bloody thing, I think the same thing as you on it. Hopefully it gets blown off in the Gales.

A couple of roads away in leafy England there's a nearby house with a flag pole in garden and another fixed to the house. Both flying Welsh flags all year round. and given the size of the property isn't that big, it just looks really disproportionate as well as odd. I don't get why people fly a foreign flag all year round in their neighbourhood? It screams look at me, I've got a right chip on my shoulder!! I once went to a friends wedding and his new Welsh father in law seemed to reference, somehow, everything to Wales and welshness. I get being proud of where you come from, we all are. But you can look an arse constantly banging on about it. The English equivalents are people from Yorkshire. Christ they do let you know early on in a conversation!

Anyway, back to the subject matter. Of course, it is your duty to remove the offending palace rag. It's a slippery slope to the black flag of Isis.

Welsh people are very proud of being Welsh, usually this is fine but there is one exception..........

Wales V England at rugby.

They are poor losers, but absolutely terrible winners.

I was driving back to my house and a few houses up from me someone has a sodding Palace flag. I'm talking about a proper flag on a proper pole. I'm not making this up either, they seem to raise it when Brighton are playing. It's bringing the area down, it also looks tacky. How can I get this flag removed legally?

It's not the first time either, a few months back I saw someone walking along the road in a Palace shirt.

This is Sussex and we are Brighton & Hove Albion, not bloody South London

Every Brighton fan expects you to do your duty.

I think there is a clue in the name, about what should be done.
Crystal Palace, the proverb is People in glass houses, shouldnt throw stones.
It doesn't say anything about people who DON'T live in glass houses, therefore feel free to brick his windows, and O.B. won't do anything about it.















I think

You're not wrong about Yorkshire. I was working on a house when the neighbour started talking to me. Northerner. Took him to his second sentence to tell Me he was Yorkshire born and proud........As I walked away ' yeah but you're living in deepest Sussex now mate. He was speechless.......I bet that was a first too.

I don't think that Spurs flag will last long up there, the wind will ruin that soon. I'm not surprised there is a Spurs fan living in that part of Bishopstone, I work up there sometimes and I haven't worked in one house owned by a Sussex person.

The Spurs flag probably winds up the plastic Arsenal fans that live in Seaford.
