Title: Le Mans

 I am amazed that not only in the camp sites, but on the flag poles in the stadium the English union flag was flying upside down. The ignorance of people when told their flag was  the wrong way up shows up the lack of education in our schools.

The flag on the Dreamracers Sud was proudly the wrong way up.  Some gimp at the end of the row had not one but two flags upside down - should have asked what the matter of distress was  ;D

Glad I wasnt the only one to notice the ACO's error on top of the pitlane grandstand!

As said in previous post, too many Brits to fond of flying the union flag and want to be proud and havn't got a f*cking clue they are just like football supporters!! PS. Have written to ACO again( 3rd year on the run) about the flags over the tribunes

I get round any potential disasters such as this by simply (and proudly) displaying the St. George's cross only.

If it's good enough for the likes of Messrs. Coulthard etc. to acknowledge only the St. Andrew's cross, then Nationalism works for me too!!!  ;D

Sorry to be pedantic, but there is no such thing as an English Union Flag - the English flag is the St George's Cross. What's this about ignorance and lack of education ? ::)

Perhaps he had a nasty scrotum shaving accident?

Who knows what people do under the influence, and frankly it scares me to ask!
