Quote: No, you can fly any national flag without permission as long as it is flown on a vertical pole.

A shopkeeper was fined a a not to far away Local Council for flying the Union Jack.

He was told that he could only fly the Euro flag.

Sounds a bit to random for me, either idiot council, some other issue in reality turned round for the shopkeepers gain, or silly season in the local rag

Avast a link

Appears that either the council did him for failure to comply with another law (advertisment!), or they failured to understand the planning regulations on flying flags which the eu flag is also subject to as well nation flags.

This has all been changed recently, a few years back even government buildings could only fly for 18 days a year and there were strict regs on mear mortals flying. As these were set by the royal household it never included the eu flag as that has nowt to do with the queen.
