What’s your beige flag?

[Laurel]

If I got this right:

A beige flag is not something good, or bad. But a person may do a double-take on you - because it maybe is different, odd. Not quite a red flag but it makes you look with one eye.

I think that’s right.

Do you eat lots of garlic?
Do you hang upside down to sleep?
Do you drink tea in a saucepan?

Anything like that.

[Dougella]

I don't drink tea, that's a beige flag to many British people.

[Laurel]

No that’s a red flag. We found the imposter Brit, get her!

[BFG_]

I don't drink alcohol or tea or coffee.

[Laurel]

Oh no there’s multiple of them!
I don’t drink alcohol either.

[anxiouslondoner]

I raise more beige flags than the kingdom of hummus.
I don't drink tea or coffee.
I don't watch TV
I don't watch films
I don't really read books.
I don't listen to music much
I don't eat meat or fish
I don't drive
I don't really do much of anything that anyone would care about
I don't go on dates either, and my relationship history is decades of nothing

[Laurel]

To be fair it's common in London not to drive, noone reads books these days. But vegetarianism, that's a whole seperate illness.

[Dougella]

^^ Oh I don't drive or eat meat either, seems I'm full of flags too lol.

I would say it's Barry for me! Especially when I was 16 and I just started my first job. Then one day in the office someone said out loud:

Has someone lost a bag? It's got Barry Manilow cassette tapes in them

And without hesitation, I said it belongs to me. Then the next day came around and these 2 guys in the joining office started ribbing me about it:

Week 1

Hi Barry!

Week 2

Alright Baz!

Week 3

Bazzo!!!!

At which point, I finally cracked! Where I came back with an amazing response:

My name is not Bazzo!

Yeah, that went down well! Although by that stage, I started to zone out and went into my happy place. Which involved eating Cadburys and listening to Bazzo!

I wash myself with a rag on a stick

[biscuits]

I instantly know when someone is a wrongun.

Being pescatarian (I don't call myself that) but it's like - commit, woman.

[Sunrise]

I always wash my whites and colours together.

Sometimes I park facing forward in a car park rather than reversing in.

I once told a charity collector who approached me in the street that I couldn't stop to talk as I was very busy, even though I wasn't that busy.

[Mo34]

^ I never ever reverse into a parking space - not sure I still can, lol.

[Laurel]

I found myself pulling nose hairs out whilst driving yesterday.

[biscuits]

I get nose bleeds in the shower if I think too much.

[Jam do Bronx]

Yes they're massively flawed, and yes I'm a grown arsed adult, but I still fairly enjoy disney and pixar films, ok.

GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY!

Sorry, not sure why my inner Gammon came out. In real life, I don’t drink tea either. I’ve tried to a few times, but it just tastes like funny water to me. Maybe that is a dead giveaway that I’m an unpatriotic woke snowflake remainer

[Dougella]

^ I think i am one of those too

[Messer]

I don't eat cheesy food. Makes me feel like the biggest weirdo.

[BritishPeace]

I always seperate my foods

For example, I take the bread apart in a sandwich and eat them like that, I take the topping off pizza and eat the topping and base separately, I take the filling out of a pie or pasty and eat that and the pastry separately, I take the hotdog out of the bun and eat the hotdog and bun separately.

Why? I just enjoy the food tastes better that way.

[Appear]

I regularly read plot summaries for books and films before I've read/seen them despite 'spoilers' because they knowing what happens doesn't actually spoil anything if you're an adult.

[biscuits]

I yodel every now and then when the mood takes me. Maybe once a month.

[Laurel]

Oh we all do that.

My beige flag is I hate things on the back of an armchair. So if I’ve put stuff on the back of an armchair then it’s all flung off onto the floor when I go to sit down.

[biscuits]

^ we should synchronise watches and do it at the same time on the same day, Laurel! Are you free on Monday at 7pm?!

I eat corn on the cob with a fork.
When I used to eat pizza, I ate it with a sharp knife and fork.
