Jack also used to own the Ruskin Arms in East Ham high st...it was next to the betting shop i used to manage for AR DENNIS and i used to frequent his pub near enough every lunchtime(hic), unfortunately Jack died a few years ago

He had a few pubs in the area.

My eldest daughter ran the White Horse in Barking for him a few months.

Sad to hear that he has died.

I did ask you before (on another thread) if you ever worked the Dennis shops in Canning Town (Hermit Road or Fife Road) or Plaistow (Barking Road, opposite the Red House)

Amazing. I saw the flag yesterday, and now I've seen the gentleman who put it there and he's just how I imagined him to look. Uncanny.

Shocking whitevanism on this thread

Labour councils insist the Pakistani flag is flown above council buildings in places like Rotherham.

  What is going on in this country?

is that true Hunter?

And the first question is for you, Emily Thornberry. The Hammers - the Hammers is the nickname of what English football team? The Hammers? No? Well bad luck there, Emily.

The owner of the £175,000 house, father-of-four Dan Ware, told the Sun: "I've not got a clue who she is - but she's a snob. We put the flags up for the World Cup.

"They'll stay up until they fall down and then I'll put new ones up."

put it another way if you thinking of buying a house and next door had england flags flying out of the windows, would it put yopu off,does that make us all snobs

If Ed respects a van, imagine the respect he’d have for a tank.

good job the bye election wasnt in december ,he,d probably have a 1000 lights outside,2 inflatable santa,s and an inflatable snowman .

People who fly English flags are racist.

This is a quite extraordinary blanket generalisation. On what grounds would these people automatically be racists?

During recent World Cup and European Championship and football competitions, a number of my closest neighbours had the English flag prominently displayed outside and inside the windows of their houses. A Chinese hi-tech entrepreneur who lived next door to me, and a black car mechanic around 6 doors or so away BOTH had such flags on display during those tournaments, and well after England's participation.  Who exactly are these fine neighbours of mine being racist towards please?

Several years ago I lived in Cornwall, and the Cornish are great ones for flying their St Pirans flag. However when England are playing football or during the rugby world cup, there are English flags everywhere. Mebyon Kernow hate it. In a local newspaper I read a letter from a separatist who called the flag "the butcher's apron" and said the flag was culturally confusing for the Cornish. But it was just people from all walks of life showing their support for the national team. One guy who lived near me was a football mad Sikh who had a Cornish accent. He had flags all over his house for any comps and I wouldn't describe him as racist. Although tbf he wasn't a fan of Islam.

Labour despise the white working class every but as much as the Tories. A pathetic band. How dare that gentlemen have a flag of his country outside his property. Still she can go back to her 3 million pound pad now

think your missing the point ,she may be a bit dim but doubt she was thinking of patriots or racists but more about him been a chav,
millions of people had car flags during the world cup but if one pulled up next to you tomorrow at the traffic lights ,you,d glance across and think what a chav,or some would me included probably

No they go along with the notion that the flag represents racist football fans and little englanders, hence why labour run councils ask the flag to be taken down during such tournaments as they may cause offence.
Did you listen to James O Brien on LBC today cos he was saying exactly the same what you are?

I'm not referring to those times when England are playing in some tournament or other. I'm talking about  those that fly the flag from their tenements or battlements ( and everything in between)  52 weeks a year.

If It turned out to be actually your shower, I wouldn't be surprised in the least.

Facts like to call people racists. It makes him think that he's achieved something.

Nice piece of tiling by the way from whoever did it.

I believe it as done by Watt.

any tiles spare?

How about the hundreds of english flags flown when the Queen went down the thames in her boat.  In fact probably thousands of them all over the place.

CMAT...yes.. i worked in them all during my 21 years with ARD.I do remember working in Fife rd on relief and after cashing up realised i was £200 short.I left the shop around midnight after going through all the paper work.till rolls. bets anything i could think of.


Dopey Doris turned up the next day and informed me she had hidden the 200 at the back of the till and forgot to tell me..i wouldn't mind so much but i had phoned her home the previous evening and she didn't even mention what she had done..her name was Pat Mcalinsky..did you know her?..she was well known in the canning town area.

PS.She didn't even apologise

This is the point. It's got nothing to do with racism.

The Sun may be correct and the house is worth &175,000, but the ones either side are worth £50,000 less.

I didn't know her. I used to live in Fife Road in a tower block, but rarely used the shop there. I used the one in Hermit Road a lot, and now and again, the one opposite the Red House. I used to bung the cashier in there when I won and could always get a back price of a few shows on a gambled horse if I wanted one. She did well when I had a big bet on Reference Point some years ago, it was 5/4 when I got 13/8, how she never got bollocked I don't know.

The worst cashier to have in your shop was the Laddie's bird Maureen Brewer. She was a relief cashier, and wherever she went, there was a shortage in the other till,  the one she wasn't working on. Came to my shop for a job once, as soon as she left I threw her application form in the bin.

People who fly English flags are racist.

Is it just English flags that denote racism?

Do you remember the manager in hermit rd..his name was Ray Vurrilo,drove a three wheeler..little guy who wore tinted specs.One day, after a lunchtime session in the Red House a few of us found out where he parked his "car".We picked it up and moved it around the corner..happy days.

if the whitevan man was jewish it would be one hell of a crazy week on the betfair forum........

I had a nice result on a bet I facked up on footie in Hermit Road years ago.

I had originally gone in there to see a bloke about backing a dog at the Wick, then I was off to an ATM to get some money, but he never showed up.

I had to get to work and had no time to study horses, so I picked out 7 footie teams for a tenner acca, which was  all I had in my pocket in cash. I went to work and got home at 5-30.Sitting on the khazi (as you do) with the door open listening to the telly to check the results, I got the 3rd and 5th matches wrong, I screwed up the ticket, and when I got to the kitchen I said to my Mrs 'Useless bastards!!' and threw it in the bin.

She said 'You checked that quick, check it again' and got it from the bin. How lucky can you get???? I had only listened to the results and not checked my ticket.

Instead of 5 homes and 2 aways I had ticked of all 7 homes. Iirc, Man Utd got turned over, and so did Spurs, both well odds on. I had both home teams.

I worked out what I had going on to Sunday's match and it was nigh on £700.

I think it was Liverpool v West Bromwich. I had a bet on West Brom and the draw, so I won, whatever the result was. Liverpool won, and when I got in the shop on Monday he said 'Was that a mistake' and laughed.

I remember laughing and saying 'Why, don't you pay out on fack ups?'  I bunged him and the cashier who was in. Whether they gave a tip to the afternoon cashier I have no idea.   

Was the shop just down the road from the Red House a Laddies when you were in Dennis's, or did Oxlow Bookmakers still have it?

what's going to happen when he covers his house in Christmas lights?

whoever would have thought he'd look like this?

Maureen Brewer

the guy is a cage fighter did you expect him to look like Charles Hawtrey? Hope he doesn't have any skeletons in his closet because I'm sure some sections of the press will already be digging.

guess he pulls the sheets in for the night

Virtually inevitable that skeletons will emerge now that Miliband has expressed his respect for him.

Other than for special events why would you fly a flag?
I wouldn't like him as a neighbour btw.

I'm surprised at you asking such a question akabula. The Saltire is flown all over Scotland. Are the Scots racist? No of course not.

It's troublesome that people jump to conclusions in this way. If they did it about other races it would be called prejudice if not outright racism. It seems that the white working class are fair game for a kicking from the luvvies. Well it seems they have had enough and are kicking back. Good.

Cmat

A typical specimen of the genus ' rockape '

Characterised by walking with knuckles dragging on the ground.

The problem with the English flag is that it is still associated with racism.
The problem with the British flag is that it looks incredibly tacky.

In the village I live in, and in neighbouring villages, I'd never seen a saltire flown from a house until the referendum.
Granted some are still up but to say they are flown all over Scotland isn't true.

Flying flags for special days and events is fine but pretty much anywhere in the world covering your house in flags for months on end is pretty sad tbh. It's great fun that horrible woman is gone but I'm sick of sanctimonious twitter storms, they are getting to be pretty much daily.

The owner of the house apparently didn't even know there was a by election on, wtf, he lives in a house not a cave.

It's the thin end of the wedge when a mild mannered Englishman like myself cannot fly his national flag on his own property without being insulted by a racist like Facts.

A sorry state of affairs indeed.

You can't refer to black footballers as apes, it's racist, but it's okay to call a white man an ape?

How about you, at 64, with long hair, you hippy.

Khazi is a cockney term btw, used by plenty of soldiers in the war.

I note Pandora also accuses me of being brain dead in the original post.  It's all most vexing.

I've decided to hang a flag on this thread.

I note you've declined to show us your 25ft pole Pokermonster

Is it just my imagination, or every single time pandora starts a thread, that is his only post, he never replies on it ? I believe he  is what is known in the trade as a **** stirrer

millions of people had car flags during the world cup ..

English flags ?

I kept seeing them in the side of the road a few days later.

no just a sad kn0bhead

scandanavian_haven wants everyone to know he ******* a Swede.

if i had a 25 ft pole I'd also erect it in my garden with pride.

For CMAT.........

Lexicographer Eric Partridge derives khazi, also spelt karzy, kharsie or carzey, from a low Cockney word carsey originating in the late 19th century and meaning a privy.[58] Carsey also referred to a den or brothel. It is presumably derived from the Italian casa for house, with the spelling influenced by its similar sound to khaki. Khazi is now most commonly used in the city of Liverpool in the UK, away from its cockney slang roots.[59] An alternative derivation is from Christopher Chippindale,[60] who states that khazi derives from Army slang used by expatriate officers of the British Empire who took a dislike to the habits of, and steaming rain forest inhabited by, the Khasi people of the Khasia hills on the northern frontier of India.

Facts is an idiot.  And for balance and a polite nod to honesty, call me a taxi is also an idiot.  If it wasnt for ****s like taxi we wouldnt need w@nkers like Facts. This is our political system alas.

I certainly agree with your first statement regarding soppy bollox but  without CMAT  it would be a far duller place..keep up the good work "me ol **** sparrer"

Regarding the shop down the road from the Red house to be honest i  don't rememberIf you worked in the area you must have had dealings with big bad Leroy..what a complete nutter.He waited outside my mates shop in the Barking rd one night and stabbed him as he locked up.

I don't want to get myself banned, DW2E!

I'm now trying to source one of those Batman style night projectors, but with the bat image replaced by a bulldog wearing a union jack vest.

I don't smoke Roy

as far as i can tell, she wasn't attacking the guy in question -  and she may believe it is perfectly acceptable to  hang a flag of S/G from the window -  just not one that is 60 foot high .

looks fookin hideous - just another form of chavish attention seeking imo - after facial tattoos , shouting loudly  and oversized boob jobs

karen brady was in the paper today slagging off the mp and saying there is nothing wrong with flying the flag,i doubt she wouldnt think the same if her neighbours did it

Does she not live in a Penthouse in Mayfair?

Especially if she was trying to sell it.

It's a mob thing now isn't it.
I'm sure half the people slagging the MP off also thing it's chavvy, but won't dare say it and are instead forming ranks with the mob.

If they said what they thought, they too would feel the WRATH OF TWITTER, (a little know Star Trek sequel).

I'm pretty sure most people I know from all "classes" would think someone doing that to their house all year was a bit of an eejit.

no chance of brady being in penthouse or mayfair now

so true ..that's a great post mate

FYI

MDH is a big gay bear.

Flying the flag in the USA is seen as patriotic, so the question is when does patriotism become racism.
This regardless of which country you live in.
My family especially my Mother will put the Irish flag in her window during the world cups even though she lives in England.

the thing is, in the US they generally have a big pole in their garden like Pokermonster. Hanging it out of your window from a pair of paper weights is just wrong.

Got a reliable source for that snippet of total bollocks?

you do see more flags  on council estates and rented properties  - but i don't think it is linked to low incomes though, more linked to a certain culture   - besides ,council estates aren't the poorest areas by a long way  .

Not taking the p here coach, but where would the poorest areas be then?

generalizing of course  ,   but the poorest for me would be a toss up between Housing association estates - they take on a lot of misfits -( generally the new builds of the 00s )  then i'd wager the areas or pockets around the inner cities (typically run down terraced houses) which are now ghettoes for the classes that have been either evicted  from other suitable decent properties and now these properties  serve as a cash cow  for  cash landlords who are only to happy to take the gamble on these folk. Gamble being the opertaive work  esp now payments are made directly to tenant .

A lot of council housing has  been bought (at least on the better estates ) and has thus been gentrified to a degree .

i will also add Hank that whenever i walk through the nearest council estate  there is no shortage of disposable income on show  - flash cars ,caravans .motorhomes ,boats,jet skis - new conservatories and pagodas tacked on  ,giant movie screens -

ive hung a flag with a hammers sign on out my bathroom since the world cup.patriotism mate

There's a big pole in the garden a few doors down from me but I don't think anyone's ever put a Union Jack up there. His name is Jarek and I think he lives in the shed.

that posh labour bird mp ridiculed it because it was the national flag - no objections when a lot of labour councils were flying the palestinian flag earlier in the year in support of hamas
