We are discussing a sign on a chip shop in Greenwich, chum..............😋

 

Yes it is. But the woke influence in the UK now seems to encourage not displaying the UK national flag. Apparently it causes offence to some.

Or a Greek Cypriot who was living in north Cyprus and was kicked out when the island partitioned...

 Well Chum, in case you didn't notice, It's a mural with the Union Jack incorporated into it. He hasn't been ordered take it down because of the fish!

 

If you flew a union Jack from your house, how long before you would be told to take it down?

 

Depends where you flew it from. You need permission to erect a flagpole in the UK but, other than that, you can display the Union Jack or flag of St. George to your heart's content.

If the 2022 World Cup is anything to go by, there will be plenty of St. George's (and St. Andrew's) flags flying this summer during the Euros

Yes, we know, a nice Turkish Cypriot bloke......🤗

Its nothing to do with the union jack. The regulations around what is called 'Out of House Advertising' (OOH) - which includes most external signage - have always been pretty strict. For most councils for anything bigger than 0.3 sq. m. (which is actually quite small) you need planning permission.  If councils let this sort of thing slide then half the walls in the town would have stuff painted on or stuck on. The chip shop owner is milking it for all its worth for the free publicity.

Oh dear, Hauptmann is angry at Chris, The UK has always had building advertising, it's only people like you who are offended by it, as it might have an impact on the value of your street......

Do a Google search on UK business wall advertising... 

 

 

Or how about modern wall advertising............😂

I am not angry at Chris. Obviously very old wall advertising was done in a different era when there were fewer regulations and some of it is actually now protected by heritage legislation (it can't be overpainted).   Modern wall advertising and OOH signage is covered by planning regulations, as I stated above. Not really surprising or difficult to understand, is it? I know a bit about the subject since I've had to apply to a local council to install and change signage.

I thought you might, Captain........🤭

As mentioned on a radio phone in programme, if the painting was done by the graffiti artist known as Banksy, would the council be so keen to get it removed?
