Er, bit touchy there John mate!? :)
It's not YOUR house is it?!?!
Nah mate and I knew that would come across as defensive, I just think its very intrusive Paul.
to be honest, I actually think the owner is ill at the moment.

Contrary to my opinions on this thread, when I get home I post a google street view (if I have the capability) of what is one of the most spectacular houses in the Liverpool boundary and I always take visitors to see it........lets see if anyone beats me to it, its in Mossley Hill, not far from Palmerstone Road.

He can't hide from google street view!

Does he stand about in his garden all day? Like someone off Trumpton?

Also on show is:



On his second flag pole, on the Booker side.

If he's got any symmetry about him, there should be a third flagpole going
up on the Mather side.

Watch this space.

That's the one mate, do me a favour and put a pic up. It's like your in Dallas.
When we get work experience lads working with us I always spend some time personally taking them around the city showing/ highlighting/ indicating/ reminding them of the important services we provide and because its coincidental that most of them seem to come from north Liverpool I always journey south. These 15 year old lads have never ventured past the Jolly Miller so when I take them through Woolton, Gatacre, etc they always ask in disbelieve if we are still in Liverpool. Then I take them to that house and watch their gobs drop. The flurry of questions and wondering if they've been lifted to another world amuses me every time. Then having told them to appreciate what is going on around their city my final message to them is to fucking aspire, to become, to accomplish and to live their parents dream.

I'll have to look at this "ranch"..................................

Just walked down on Google Earth, too many trees to see it.

If anyone wants a great 30 minute walk to look at great houses, try
Cressington Park - lovely on a sunny day, and they have their own secluded
promenade at the bottom.

He's done it. Monitoring the thread I reckon. Went past earlier. 2x Oz on the Booker and Mather outliers. Canada on the main pole

He's gone a little bit off-the-wall with his centre flag.

It's white with what looks like a yellow feather in the middle??
I thought he'd gone all "Vatican" on us, but it's not the Vatican flag.

I thought he'd do something like this.
I was that engrossed in trying to suss the middle flag (while driving) I clean
forgot what the 2 side ones were - may have been England flags?

Was wondering what that was when I cycled past - cheers mate.

Also, just in case the mad flag man is logged in monitoring his thread I'd just like to thank him.  I tend to cycle past his house regularly on my bike rides and I always use his flags as a nice wind indicator as to whether it's a good idea to stick Otterspool Prom in as part of the route... 

It's a bitch that Prom if you are cycling into a force 9 howling down the Mersey
