I READ a letter from Mr K Austin in the Evening Advertiser on Friday, April 26.

He seemed to think that there was a lack of patriotism on St George's Day.

I had my cross of St George flying from my bedroom window all day, and I also noticed that the Arkells brewery had their flag flying and it was still up on the following Saturday.

I also went to the town centre that day and there were also many shops flying our flag.
