Hang them… Ignorance is no excuse Pensioners sent angry letter for flying Union Flag in ‘insulting’ way The 96-year-olds were accused of ‘arrogance’ for mistakenly flying the flag upside down A pair of pensioners who flew their Union Flag upside down have been branded “insulting” in an anonymous letter posted through their door. Betty and Maurice Curtis, both aged 96, said they have flown the flag on a 15ft pole in the back garden of their home in Weymouth, Dorset, for years without any trouble. But they were left shocked when someone slipped the abusive note through their letterbox. The type letter read: “To whom it should concern. Is it in ignorance or arrogance that you persist in flying the ‘Union Jack’ upside down? “To do so, other than in genuine need to send an ‘S-O-S’, is an insult! “For your education, please refer to the illustration below, which shows the correct way to display the flag of the union.” There is then an image of a Union Flag with the message: “Prevalent part of white uppermost diagonal should be atop the red diagonal.” The couple, who have been married for 75 years, said it was a “genuine mistake” and that they “didn’t know”.
