Its a tribal thing and the flag is a way of showing which tribe you belong to. Unfortunately tribes tend to be territorial and engage in wars hence the flag pole gets taken down. On the other hand it might simply be a cr*p flagpole

My neighbour (on a seasonal pitch) always wears his sufc shirt on a Saturday, but more often than not he takes it off as soon as the results are in.
I'm black & white through & through but I hold no grudge against any team doing well and it would be a better world if everyone knew the true meaning of the word SPORT.

How many of you that fly flags think of the noise nuisance they cause to your immediate neighbours?
David
You're joking, I hope?
Noise? From a flag? If the flag is making a noise, that will be because it is very windy - if it's very windy, a noisy flag is surely the least of your problems, even if you can hear it?
No, I don't have flags but quite like them....new thing we saw this weekend was christmas lights all the way up the flagpole (and flashing ones) - very pretty (and, no, I didn't consider the damage the lights were doing to my eyes )

Nelmo, I have to disagree, flags can be noisy at night but so can those plastic type windbreaks. I do occasionally fly a flag or a windsock but it always comes down at night for 2 reasons. Firstly at the quiet of night a flag can be very irritating to neighbours.Secondly there's always a chance the weather can change and if it gets really windy I would not want to be the one to explain why my flag or pole has broken and potentially caused damage to someones gear.

We have a flag pole and put flashin lights around ours..aswell as a few different flags..its just abit of fun thats all..but before we go to bed..we always turn off the lights and if its windy..we drop the flag pole too..
Like Nigel says..if the wind really did get up and the pole snapped..it might cause damage to either ours or our neighbours van....

Aah a fellow kindred spirit Phil, The Mighty Whites will be back in the promised land before long...Bring it on!!!
Christmas lights are great! I normally put mine up on a pole in the summer when staying on a CC site just to be different and not part of the identakit crowd. Wintertime they go around the awning and at Christmas I set them to flash. I want to get one of the big reindeer lights for the roof of the 'van as well - only kidding - honest
------------- 'A sure cure for sea-sickness is to sit under a tree'
I have a flag pole which I use to fly a couple of "hippy" style flags from (all in keeping with my image!!)
It's just a bit of fun - seriously need to think about adding some fairy lights though!
I always lower the pole at night or if I leave site as you never know what the weather might do. I wouldn't want to damage mine or my neighbours tents/property.
With regards to noise, my cheap, "plastic" windbreak makes loads more noise than the fabric plags!!
