Out on my travels the other day I noticed the Union Jack was missing from the Montmorillon roundabout near Leader Price.

You may know it's the one with all the EU flags on poles around the roundabout, well there is now one pole without a flag on and the Union Jack is missing.

So can anyone solve the mystery?    

#1 Has it blown away.

#2 Has someone pinched it.

#3 Is it being repaired.

#4 Has it been removed now Article 50 has been triggered.

Also what about the one at the Camp Sight is that still there?

That`s probably an improvement;it`s been upside-down for at least 5 years!!

The Union Jack - or should that be Union Flag? - was flying at the campsite in Monty on Wednesday.  And it was the right way up.

As both the roundabout outside Leader Price and the campsite are owned by the municipal barons in Monty, I can only assume the one by Leader Price has been taken down for a reason.  Err......don't know what that could possibly be. Whistle

Having said that, as Jane has 'fessed up to be being from the land where they say "errm" a lot, I feel there is a strong case....

Ta ra for now....errm... Tongue

It's back.

I noticed the Blighty Flag is back up.

I wonder if they put it up after listening to Theresa May's waffle and thought "This Brexit Aint Gonna Happen"

How strange! Do you reckon it was ripped down by a disgruntled local and they've only just saved up for another one?

No I think Admiral climbed up there at 3am and put it back.
