Putting up the flag

I must apologise to the original poster for going off track.
 

I have only been on earth a few days short of 79 but since I've been around I have seen the flag flown on all holidays that in anyway reflect on patriotism. I fly mine on all those occasions here on my flag holder in front of my house. I do not fly it every day as I think it becomes ignored by doing so.
 
Next Friday sees the start of the rugby world cup and on Friday night England will be playing their first game.............I will be flying both the Union Flag and the Cross of St.George as will most of my neighbours.
 

There was a time when we hardly saw the flag flying apart from govt. buildings, these days Kiwis have become more patriotic which is a good thing.
Govt. or PM John Key, is spending 23 million on what he hopes is a flag change, so he's engaged a 'panel' to choose from the 40 designs that have been submitted. I have to agree, along with 1000's of others, that our flag is too much like the Australian flag, but I still like to see the Union Jack in the corner, after all that is our heritage.
So we voters will vote for change or no change later this year.
