Otherwise... none of the schools have one (unlike American schools), no private houses have any (now THAT would be Nazi), I believe I have seen... one flag in the whole of this city. Maybe. I'm not sure.
Get the picture?

National flags here, only turn up on important buildings and sometimes on schools - well most schools have a flagpole but only use it for cermonial purposes. As for the national anthem, most people know it but only the bits that are used these days, several verses have been taken out as they celebrate our colonial past. However anyone that said "God bless England" would certainly get some funny looks.
