Have flag will travel.

curiouswombatI am watching the BBC coverage of the Reading & Leeds Festival - as far as I can see it is 95% Reading - I haven't seen anything from Leeds even on the 'red button' options yet. Therefore I haven't spotted D-d and her friends. You think I would have no hope of spotting them amongst 65,000? Don't you believe it. Manx teenagers get all over the place - and they always take their flag with them! So in front of the main stage at Reading there are at least four distinct groups of Manx fans, as I counted four Manx flags in different places.
D-d has a flag with her the size of a single bedspread - although she took it without a pole, hoping to buy a spare tent pole when she got there, otherwise they will doubtless do what a group at Reading are doing with a matching one which is holding it above the heads of four or five of them. So, if they ever show any of Leeds, any smaller flags will be some of the other groups from the island, and any the size of a bedspread could well have D-d, Kitch, et al underneath it!
We play spot the Manxie whenever there is any big crowd on TV - the Olympics, check, saw at least three; the World Cup, check; Winter Olympics, check; Glastonbury, check; FA Cup final, check; Rugby World Cup,check - and so on. My UK friends, or indeed our friends worldwide, might now find yourselves playing along!
