    Alastair,

    Re: Remember the guy who wouldn't take the flag down?

    I can't see how anyone could object to someone flying the flag of the country in which they are living. A few years back there was an Australian woman, married to an American, who lived in suburban USA and she had flown the Australian flag to which a number of neighbours objected. That I can understand. Unless you are the embassy, it's rude to fly a foreign flag, in my opinion.
