    That's completely different. I watch programmes and films from around the world. Likewise I read books by authors and use products from other countries but I wouldn't wear the flags of those nations.

    What are you afraid would happen to you if you did?

    that was my argument.. I work in tallaght close to kilnamanagh imagine scumbags seeing me wearing it..could lead to a beating.

    I also pointed out to her that as an Indian would she wear something with the Pakistan flag on it in India to which er answer was your just being an idiot.

    Wouldn't bother me at all. Think I had reebok runners at some stage that had a tiny union jack on them. Used to have a German Parka jacket as well.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    are you a confirmed Ulster unionist? as Keith is always banging on about, in case we forget

    the only thing I would care about is your dress sense judging by that post

    It's only clothes. Not as if it comes with a British passport and a requirement to piss on Michael Collins grave.

    I dont think anything would happen to me if I wore another nations flag. That wasn't the point of my post which you obviously choose to ignore.

    I actually genuinely do not see why you'd have such a problem with wearing another nations flag. If you went to the carnival in Rio and someone gave you a t-shirt with the flag on it ...would you refuse to wear that?
    Some people have little to worry about.

    Presumably you also refuse to visit Britain or watch any programme broadcasted by a British TV channel or use any product that comes from Britain as well......in case you catch the Britain off them?

    Immature stance tbh - wearing another nations flag is a different ball game to watching a program from that country or using a program from that country. In this case, we're talking what can be a highly emotive subject for people still.

    I don't have any issue with England/Britain. I felt immensely proud when the Queen of England visited our shores last year. I have many English friends and colleagues. Still, I won't wear an item of clothing with a Union Jack or Georges cross.

    And asking myself the question: "Would you wear the flag of another nation other than England?"... The answer is still no, why would I want to do that?

    I do too. A 1982 shirt. Some thicko Dublin bus driver milling around a stop with a fellow colleague one day took offence to me wearing it. Nearly came to blows. I was wearing it under a jumper too (not as if I was parading it around), but he noticed the distinctive collar. Absolute ball-bag.

    So you're telling me that ".....in case you catch the Britain off them?" is a mature statement?

    No never. Even Reebok and the likes have a bad marketing awareness with their runners regularly having the tab on them.
