Do any of you have an idea of who lives here?

You know the one, nice garden, security cameras and a different countries flag on the flag pole all the time!

I've always heard it was a diplomat who lived there or something like that....

He's got three flagpoles up these days. For someone obviously very security conscious, he doesn't half like to draw attention to himself.

It's an eccentric fella, lived there for years. Every other week he has a different flag up. In all the years I have passed the house I have only seen him once.....mowing the grass on the side of Mather Avenue.

If you zoom in he's there on Google street view!

I've got a mate who lives over the road from him. He asked him is there any reason for a particular flag being up at any one time the old bloke said no he just changes them when they get dirty.

Its a union jack today, just been past there.Bit random to stick a different flag up now and then.Fair play to him.

Wahey... another local mystery answered by RAWK. Cycle past it most days and always have a gander to see which consulate he is pretending to be this week.

Roady · « **Reply #10 on:** May 13, 2010, 12:30:47 pm »

I do love how RAWK answers thee little mysteries.Its boss.

Ive often wondered about that house but never thought to ask.

fair play.

Steven Gerrard? Is it for sale?

Paul JH · « **Reply #12 on:** May 13, 2010, 01:34:47 pm »

Genuinely for years thought it was an embassy that house!

If he's just putting flags up, then he's a bit of weirdo really isn't he?

I often wonder, when he flys the US flag, as he is on GoogleStreetView, does he get dopey yank tourists dropping by for advice. Perhaps we could entrap the owners...

6BigCups · « **Reply #16 on:** May 13, 2010, 03:47:03 pm »

always makes me wonder that house, also kind of strange the way he has the main camera high on a pole pointing at his front door

Boss thread! Always look out for what flag he's got up when I drive past

Phil M · « **Reply #20 on:** May 13, 2010, 04:52:05 pm »

My next guess is that it's probably one of the mods off here, wouldn't like to say who, the flashy git.

Slightly OT - eccentrics in liverpool

anyone heard the old train driver who has a little story before he comes and collects the tickets? bit eccentric like

kavah · « **Reply #22 on:** May 13, 2010, 08:42:02 pm »

The flag with the fish on it used to make me laugh.

OsirisMVZ · « **Reply #23 on:** May 14, 2010, 03:39:55 am »

He used to always have the Merchant Navy flag up for a long time.

Always end up looking at that house when I'm waiting for an 86 by the church into town on Mather.

Nuts.
Drove past on wednesday, and my daughter asked me.
I quite confidently said "It's an embassy"

What the feck do I know???

It was a Union Jack on Wednesday.

Funny that, coz I always end up looking up when I'm waiting for a 69 on the Gregg's doorway.

The people that live there are just scousers that have come in to money and who have chose some untraditional and nonsensical flags in their time. The 2nd flagpole that went up a few months ago is a bit tacky.
I encountered the 'dad and lad' a few years ago, probably before they lived there, I don't like them and I told them then, but to be honest the thread is a bit intrusive, I could tell you lots of stuff about them but what the fuck has it got to do with you all?
Anyway, lots of people maintain the grass in front of the gaff.
