My ex from Norway mentioned how unusual it was that so many places and people here fly our flag (USA), so I was curious to hear what it’s like for others here on the fediverse.

In the UK it’s very unusual unless it’s football or royal related. The union flag, the Welsh flag and the Scottish flag are ok most of the time but the England flag is seen as being a bit racist.
Would be nice if it was reclaimed from the football hooligan/EDL types, but the union flag serves well enough
I see people with their county flag outside quite a bit out in the sticks
Yeah, thinking about it I reckon I see county flag about the same as national flag in England.
I’m slightly triggered by the number of comments from UK people here who don’t know the first thing about their own country.
In northern Ireland there are approximately a fuck ton of flags per square mile.
Indeed. Both the England flag and the Union flag are pretty much non-existent in London outside of official buildings, unless there is an event or holiday (including sports). It’s more common to see other nation’s flags in windows, which is fair enough.
Seeing the Welsh flag in Wales or Scottish flag in Scotland I way more common than seeing the English flag in England.
I’m living in wales at the moment and seeing the flag is a pretty common occurrence
