Here in the UK, we seem very reticent to fly the national flag. A few people might fly the flag of their constituent country (e.g. England or Scotland), but most don't bother at all.

I know the US does it a lot, but it's not just an American thing: in my travels to Norway, Sweden, and so on, I saw a decent number of houses flying their national flag. On the other hand, here in the UK, it's just not something that's done, except on national holidays and other special occasions. If anybody here did have a British flag flying outside their house on an everyday basis, then they'd probably be viewed as hyper-patriotic (and not in a good way).

(And, yes: I appreciate the irony of me saying this when I have that same flag featuring prominently in my own avatar )
