Flag

[poliphilo]

How do you decently dispose of an old flag- a national flag, I mean?  I found one in the attic that had been well nibbled by mice and I could have put it in the dustbin- but that seemed disrespectful- so I opted for the bonfire- where it smouldered and stank.

In my youth I was a Girl Guide and my father and brother were heavily involved in scouting in the 1960s, so I suspected that if I hadn't ever heard of a Scout flag ceremony, they probably didn't exist. You're absolutely right that our military would have similar views on flags to the US military, but our police, not so much.
