I like that the England flag it getting an airing at the moment, but I think it would be nice if it wasn't something that is only associated with football. Still, better that than nothing at all I suppose.
But anyway, I was thinking how odd it is that the flags been produced at the moment mostly have 'England' printed across the middle, and it made me wonder if it's the case that we have such an identity problem that we have to write our own country's name on our flag just to give it more meaning? Or is this just me thinking about it too much?
Do other countries write their names across their flags during events like the current football competition? I haven't really noticed before, but I don't watch football so maybe I'm totally wrong?
