There was a long established big office near us which always had a Union Jack flying. They were asked to take it down because apparently you can only fly the Union Jack on a building with royal approval. Something like that anyway. That was the official reason.
The actual reason was because it narked some "Bradford locals" who lived nearby and they had complained....
I believe some suggestions were made that they could always go and live somewhere where they did respect the nation's flag... unofficially of course.
