En-ger-land

It's the first day of the World Cup- and most of urban England looks like this...



It makes me a little nervous. I remember a time (not so long ago) when the only people who flew the cross of St. George were vicars (from their church towers) and nazis- and I still associate it with racism and male violence.

We drove through Glodwick this afternoon- the entry level Muslim area on the far side of the hill.  No flags there. Not a single one.

I don't know about the flags but I loathe wheelie bins with a passion! Especially the ones that stay out all the time.

As opposed to the well-behaved wheelie-bins that are always home by 9pm... ;-)

There's where I have to disagree. I love my wheelie bins. :)
