Mark4007, Firefly has not said merchandise is more importand than the games, grow up.

Well said Miloman - Having read some of the ramblings of mark4007 he strikes me as being a bit of a doofus*

Prithee, can anyone explain to this dotard how any representation of a flag, including that of the union, is not a manifestation of filthy lucre. Whether it be printed, embroidered or another way represented, it is there because somebody is paying or has paid along the line. In other words, including it indicates a commercial transaction, which outweighs any abstract thought.

The fact that it is represented traditionally or with artistic modifications is therefore not material; pounds, shillings and pence count.

All this fuss about st George's flag, and not one mention of it being St George's day today by the loyal patriots

Well I for one have the Flag Of St George flying outside my home.

Any pictures

Why?

I'll just take your word for it then

Did you think Firefly was Fibbing ?

How sad that you have to question my statement, which, as it happens, is absolutely true.

Could it be that you are judging others by your standards?

I have put smiles on my posts, I am just pulling your leg

Oh well that's okay then

Not being a "flag waver" I don't care one way or the other.

No doubt we will be watching the England matches, whenever possible - depending where we are in the world in a local bar.
Preferably a bar where there will be supporters of both sides rather than one which purports to be a British type bar.

The best match we've watched for pure enthusiasm and enjoyment was in Luxor, Egypt in the Sonesta St George Hotel.
We went down for a visit during the day and asked the bar manager if they were showing the football and booked a table for us and another couple we'd met during the transfer from Hurghada for the Nile cruise.

That night, we were in the company of Swedes, Norwegians, Germans and Egyptians - all having a fabulous time.
Tunisia vs England (June 2018).

Don't ask me the score, I have no idea - I just recall the events

2-1 to England
