Although I am not a football supporter, it was good to see all the St George's flags flying for a change during England's run in the World Cup. But, for the life of me, I cannot think why I saw a Welsh flag flying in Hassocks during that time, while I was visiting a friend. Wales weren't even playing, were they?

My friend seems to think the person concerned was trying to say not everyone is English. I am told it came down when England went out. Quite frankly, I found it offensive but, being English, I am not allowed to say that, am I?
