West Berkshire Council has banned publicly erected bunting crossing roads.

Is there a bunting ban in your area, or is it just W Berks?
Why is it a Health and Safety issue to hang it across a road?
Always seems to be hanging in places like Stratford upon Avon and Ashbourne.

That suggests council erected is fine. They probably want to ensure that it is not hung too low and gets caught by lorries, buses etc. The council know the height to put bunting up, if the public did it the council might have to inspect it, taking more time.

We have bunting criss crossing the main streets in our town but the council put that up.

What do you think of it being a bit of a fudge when HM came to the throne on 6th February 1952?
Why is it the UK when for most of the last 200 years the monarch has been female?
In keeping with PC shouldn't we rebrand the UK as the UM?

You are correct that the Queen came to the throne on 6 Feb but the reason she came to the throne on this day was the fact that this was when her father died - hardly a day for celebrations.
 
Golf on Thursday - footy in the evening as usual.
Something with the missus on Friday. Hopefully nothing too insufferable.
Golf on Saturday.
Golf with the missus on Sunday, then up to see my parents I think.
 
Today I made a roast dinner and will go to the pub tonight.

Tomorrow the wife and kids are out for the day. So I will play golf.

Saturday I will spend most of the day avoiding my elderly neighbours and their street party so I don’t have to listen to their Daily Mail opinions before playing more golf in the afternoon.

Sunday will probably be spent doing some work in the garden.
 
Zoo today

Open at Beau Desert tomorrow with some forum members

Scratch match on Saturday
 
Put two coats of paint on the bathroom ceiling this morning before playing today. Texas scramble tomorrow morning, followed by a street party celebrating Queenie’s remarkable achievement.

Most likely golf on Saturday and Sunday too??

Plenty of Union flags flying today in this corner of Wales. Heading to out village rec later to light the beacon.

Hope the loons in Cardiff Bay are suitably offended:ROFLMAO:

Disappointed in you Ian, you're one of the sensible ones. Can't believe the Welsh are like this :(

Even here on Deeside, outwith shops who have gone all bonkers, there's not an apron to be seen, I'm admitedly very surprised
 
Can't help but think the media have over-hyped this. Round here, the nearest (only?) house with bunting is 3 streets away. Only one business in the "village" (the Undertakers of all places!!) has bothered. I'm sure people up The Mall were enjoying themselves, but no-one I know is doing anything.

Just home from a 30 mile round trip of mainly residential Ayrshire coast and you can count the Unionist flegs on one hand.
Quite a few Saltires though.:love:

A little odd how things have changed since the 70s into the 80s when football fans and folks in generally tended to wave the Lion Rampant rather than the Saltire. I seem to recall something 'official' sometime back in the day coming out saying that we shouldn't be flying and waving the Lion Rampant as we did, as that flag was specifically for the Royals and was not really for general and random public use. These days, of the two flags, it seems almost exclusively the Saltire that Scots will wave or carry.
