I do think it very odd when you see Yankee suburbia in films and they have flags outside their homes. I used think it was exaggerated for effect but not so.

They also have a very curious predilection for calling people “Sir” and an utterly fúcking bizarre sense of regard for people who “have served” in the forces.

There is one house I can think of with a flag pole, just as you come into Dun Laoghaire. I have always just assumed they are nutters.
