[edit] Flagpole comment--possible confusion between front gate pole and house pole

Can someone check the source on the front-gate flagpole? I'm pretty sure the flag flies there as a matter "of course", i.e. there's always a flag on that flagpole no matter who is inside. I'm also pretty sure changes of flag occur to the one mounted to the top of the official dwelling itself (where I think the protocol follows the British model---GG's flag if GG is around, otherwise no flag at all---I think Newtown residents can easily verify that its not hard to spot a bare flagpole on some days).

I also find it mildly amusing that one even has the opportunity to discuss such trivia. 202.89.152.148 (talk) 09:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
