Armed Forces Day

I’m most definitely not taking the micky here mate but with you being ex forces and then saying “charged by the courts” it did make me wonder whether you fought in the Napoleon or Crimean wars. :)

Ha ha,no im not quite that old,ive not been in trouble with the law for a good few years now though,do people not get charged in court anymore?

It was just the way I read it mate :).

But to answer your question, people get charged by the Police and then appear in court to answer the charge. Keep your flag flying!

Ah yes,i see,hopefully it wont come to that,but the flag will remain,of that you can be sure!
Crimean war,cheeky fucker,i barely remember the Falklands conflict! ;)

I feel the same way,its a personal choice,and the fact im ex armed services dosn't make me any more inclined to attend,i lost a few pals in the gulf but i dont feel any need to remember that on a set day,i browse old pictures occasionally and remember them privately,each to their own and thats the way it should be

Agreed mate

Guided by a story about flags being banned from vehicles for health and safety reasons? As I said, in England we don’t do ultra-patriotism like the yanks, some of whom probably play a recording of Star-Spangled Banner when they flush a turd.

You say nothing about alluding to me (in your post) to be a thick DM reader.

Did I explicitly state that though? ‘DM type stories’ I said which means stories about flags offending foreigners, stories which can appear anywhere but usually in the DM. You linked a story to back up your argument and the reason for not flying the flag on Royal Mail vans had nothing to do with ‘PC Britain’.

This is my last post on the subject as the thread is about the armed forces, and I hate to derail threads, as everyone knows.

I also served,and i feel the same.

However,as we now have a day set aside,i didnt see the harm in making this thread and adding my thanks.
