En-ger-land Flags... How long?!
Okay, so Eng-er-land lost last night - I didn't find out until much later as I was in bed with a migraine - how exciting!
I belong to a mailing list called "Freecycle" - basically if there's anything you don't want or need anymore, but still serves a purpose, you advertise on this site for people to come and collect - no money exchanges hands - it's to try and get people not to go to the tip with stuff that still has life left in it. I recently got a fridge-freezer from it!!
ANYHOW...! When I checked me email this morning, someone has obviously gone off England again - the subject line says what they are offering, the main email says any useful info about it...
It's interesting just how quickly we go off of things and people when they don't live up to our expectation, isn't it!
I wonder how many cars will have dismantled their flags already!
I wonder what 'supporting' or 'following' a team or person means to people like this, who put their all in until something goes pear-shaped and suddenly that team or person is useless in their eyes. Hey, football's only a game, right? At the end of the day England did their best, but didn't do as good as Portugal - so they got sent home. IS that any reason to stop supporting them? Maybe a time like this is when we need to show them our support the most.
I ain't a football fan, but enjoyed getting into a bit of the hype of this, and do watch when England are playing the bigger games, so was gutted to hear they were knocked out. I do think the flags (and many other things) on cars looked completely naff, but there ya go - so in a way I'm happy that they're going - but that's besides the point!
What's your reaction to England loosing? - Are you ripping down the flags in disgust, maybe even mourning? Do you even care? Or is it a case of 'Rule Britannia'?!
