Maybe whoever ordered it couldn't remember the name so just asked for a red, white and blue flag.

Is your Town twinned with a French one?

Sallyingforth · 23/05/2012 09:10

It's the French celebrating because we "won" the Olympics and have to pay for the bloody thing instead of them.

DameHermione · 23/05/2012 09:11

No twinning. Just wrong.

Are you in France? if you are YABVU, if not it is a bonkers decision by your local council.
I heard last night, that ours planted £30000 of flowers for Queenie's visit on the Wednesday night, after her 40 minute trip they were removed.

DameHermione · 23/05/2012 10:55
