Patriot games
Unusually for a football fan, I'm not that keen on the World Cup. It's not just that everyone suddenly becomes a football fan, it's more the sight of people rushing out to buy cheap plastic flags of St. George (made in China) to then strap, patriotically, onto their foreign cars... without the slightest hint of irony.
Yet if I stuck a German flag on my British car, I'd be considered deeply unpatriotic.
