First off, congratulations to the 4 x100 m guys and girls for winning medals in the World Championship. Had a couple of qu D on the boys winning.
However, they draped themselves in Union Flags, some of which were upside down. This does annoy me for some reason.
I pointed this out to Mrs Addickted and suggested it should be part of the National Curriculum that children are taught the correct way the flag should be flown.
She suggested that I was a sad miserable old git and should just celebrate our success.
I know I'm right :-)

Firstly you're totally correct about the position of the flag . Secondly it annoys me when they have the flag with that crappy blue instead of the darker blue.
Four guys complete one circuit of the track in less than 38 seconds, approximately the time it takes most of us to walk into the kitchen and fill the kettle. Adrenalin is coursing through your veins as 55,000 ecstatic Brit supporters erupt in jubilation.
And then tell me you're going to remember to check the flag is as Mr Simmons the Geography teacher taught you back in 2011.
They don't run with their shorts on back to front.
As Harry Lime says, Stratford is on land
My Dad once stopped the car outside an office building, and went in to complain to a very bemused receptionist that they were flying the flag on the flagpole outside incorrectly. She got the caretaker down, and my Dad spent (what was for him a very happy 10 mins) showing him how to do it properly. He even deliberately took a detour a week later to check all was still well !!!
He was magnificently anal about flying the flag properly
Still has thick white band at top left.
Back to front, that's a different story.
We should of copyrighted it.
