BRFR Cake Stop 'breaking news' miscellany

[Stevo 666]

The same as on here and CUK. The latter he still denies, but the proof is there still.

Obviously the BR forum has now been erased from existence but I was on there a fair bit and don't recall anyone with that username.

That's because I was never there, or on CUK.

Classic throws around statements, never backs them up. Rarely links to anything.

On there just short of twenty years, wasn't aware of you until the last year of site operation.

According to you

when was I on BR, what was my username name, where did I put my location?

Maybe so, but I was in the Cake Stop section a lot (which was where the political debates took place) and would have spotted him easily over the 16 years I was there.

🤔 He's either genuinely mistaken or he's bullshitting

It's a World Cup thing.

I have been out and about in a slightly different area to my usual haunts, this morning, (visiting Grand Daughter). The Flag adorned lampposts and bridges is even more widespread there (Penshaw and Shiney Row), it is like a Nuremberg Rally, but, with Union Jacks.

What concerns me about this is it appears to be organised (ie who is procuring and distributing the flags), it is a degree of organisation beyond the average fat guy in a football shirt and Union Jack "cloak", I would have thought.

Good point. Do Amazon even stock that many flags at any unexpected moment in time? Somebody had a good supply of flags sitting ready as I can't see all these "I just want to protect our children, I'm not racist" people just happening to have large numbers of unused St George's flags sitting in their cupboards.

Maybe they were confiscated off Georgian immigrunts and modified with good, white paint.

Actually, in the area I was speaking of, they were almost exclusively union jacks, maybe the have run out of St George flags?

Might be a business opportunity here?, supply and demand, short supply, increase the price?

Bit of a tangent but are they flying the correct way up or upside down?

I remember a few years ago cycling in Netherlands and loads of dutch flags on lamp posts along roads in some areas but for ages something nagging "wrong" until I realised they were all flying upside down (more obvious on an NL flag). It was a protest and flags were in support of farmers objecting to the Dutch Government's implementing EU agricultural chemical (pesticide/fertiliser) policy.

I didn’t study them closely enough to say. I am not even sure I would know. I recall being told at school, but, that was approximately 65-70 years ago, and it is not something have thought about since. 😊

Just so you get it right, flying your flag
