When we started caravaning 20 years ago the sites were full of flags of County, Regiment, sports teams, childrens characters and lights round the awning. I now seem to be the one of a few with a small sailing boat at the top of the pole.
If the wind gets up I take it down so no damage is caused. Seems like a bit of fun has gone.

Any sort of unnecessary noise at night should be avoided if possible and people with flags should actually think about whether they are an inconvenience to their neighbours.
We once, before caravan came along, stayed at Blakeney Hotel. Right on the front on the harbour. Staff were a bit perplexed when we refused an upgrade to a room at the front overlooking the harbour. All those lanyards clanging away. No thanks. Quite happy with room overlooking the car park.

We stayed at the Club’s Wyatt Covert site, earlier this summer, for the FA Cup Final, as did many others.
Free, cheapo , lightweight flags were given out at Wembley, and most people kept them, and I admit that I tied mine to the ‘van, after the game.
Hope it didn’t disturb anybody….. 😱

WN, I would definitely have taken the upgrade and double earplugged up to cut out the noise.

Blimey. That kicked off some strong opinions. Just to get the sarcasm out of the way I can find my way back without the flag having sailed offshore in this country and Med.
Will still fly my little sailing dinghy up the pole so look out for me and cheer or boo.
Thanks for all your replies.
