AIBU to think our neighbour is an arse?

We put a union flag up in the window yesterday to celebrate the Jubilee. Today I bumped into our neighbour where we had the following conversation...

Him: I don't like your flag.
Me: Oh. Sorry. It's just up for the Jubilee so it'll come down in a few days.
Him: People will think this is a BNP street.
Me: Hmm I'm sure they won't, everyone knows it's Jubilee weekend...
Him: Well I think it makes you look like BNP supporters. It's disgraceful. I don't want to look at it.

He's made me a little bit worried now that people will think that! AIBU to leave the flag up and think he's being a bit of an arse?

The Romans started it.

What have the Romans ever done for us?

I don't care if people are proud of their country. I'm not and I don't understand it.

Ooh, I just learnt how to make stuff bold - not what I wanted to do, but fab, nonetheless!

Ta Panda, I thought you meant a jubbly for a minute. Bit cold for lollies.... Grin

Leave the flag up until next Monday. The proudly raise the cross of St George before England engage the ancient foes from across the channel.

Goodness me OP, what does your neigbhour think of the Queen then? She often has the Union flag flying atop Buckingham Palace.

Ooooh, personal insults, well done RightBugger, prove my point.

Yes, and after that your union flag can go back up until the end of the paralympics.
