A Flag in the UK ??

[Doc Vernon]

Hello Mike
Thats good news mate and i sure will let Anita know that it is on its way!
Hopefully she will take a nice Pic for us all here on site!
Thanks for letting me know!
Cheers

i have just read all the posts from number one to the end.and the following places have been mentioned,for a flag.
glasgow
belfast
plymouth
barry
liverpool
london.
i am afraid this list horrified me, to think that i might have to supply six flags or more.
on thinking about it,i came up with the following solution.

the person who can get a flag on display,in a specific location,buys his own flag i obtained mine from
Buy Flag, Buy Flags, Custom flag, Bunting, Flag, Flags and a sharpie marker pen.the pen i got at w.h.smith
then you request from me the required flags list,i.e.
list one
list two
list three
all the above lists have approx 500 names.
i can then e-mail you the list that you asked for.
i would like your comments on the above please.
regards
mike

Yes great idea lads and thanks for all the work put in by the interested parties. One question was the Juniper Berry the pub with the stuffed grizzly bear standing inthe bar ? Obviously Im talking about fifties./sixties so poor old bear is long gone,eaten by moths perhaps...... s.Stuart H

Think you maybe thinking of the Horse and Groom, now I am told a car park. Such is the price of progress.

Hi Happy Daze John,
Think you are right- Horse & Groom sounds like it. Of course pub crawls were the order of the day back then for me at least. Always like Southampton, though most of my sailing was out of london or Liverpool.

Just got a reply Today telling me that the Flags are now all there,that is Mine and Mikes!
Hopeflly a better Pics than this will follow!
I have replied and told them that we would like a few Pics showing a bit more of the Pub as well as the Flags inside!
So will see what we get!
Cheers

Anita had sent 3 Pics,but sadly the other 2 were so blurred that one couldnt make out anything!
I have asked her to try and take some more!Cheers

[Doc Vernon]

I am adding in these two Pics as well due to the fact that PJ was the initial starter of this project,and hopefully he will also be able to send something over to them in Southampton!
Thank to you PJ that this entire project was started!
Cheers

And God Bless the late Jim Brindly! Sincerly!
Beth looks good there too!with PJ!

I will also be editing the letter sent to have PJ's name included in it!

High Mike.

I am an ex-seafarer from the u/k now working as a ships visitor/volunteer Chaplain in the Mission to Seafarers Melbourne where your flag is very proudly displayed in the main club room and is often spoken about when I do talks at verious places to inform people about the mission. My first ship was the MV Media out of Liverpool and my Number was "R845380". if you are stilll doing a flag or are thinking of doing another please do not hesitate to use my details.
If you are in the Melbourne during the day please do not hesitate to drop in to the mission for a bear or coffee.
Yours in Christ Name.

Well Lads
As of now i still have not received any Pics of those 2 Flags both Mike and myself had sent to the JB!

I have on several occasions Emailed Mick and Anita asking for a few Pics,but for the one only that i had posted (Mikes one) there have been no futher replies

The last Email i got Anita said that they were away that Weekend and she would get some Pics done after that!
Up till now nothing!

So i am now asking first of all George in Soton,if he could possibly get time to go to the JB ,and see what is happening possibly also take a Pic or two for the site!
If there are any others that live close by it would also be much appreciated if someone else could also get to the JB and get some Pics for us all here on site!
Thanks in advance,i hope someone will do this for us ALL!
All the best to you all
Cheers
