OVER recent days I have, via the Western Telegraph, tried to fly the Fishguard flag that was once flown by its merchant seamen around the world: they included many of my own generation.
In my case the flag was flown by air, as I pursued my career as a specialist construction lawyer through the company I formed on returning from Lesotho where my late wife Sue and I had lived for nine years.
After dissolving the company solvently I retired from the scene, but have retained the website address for sentimental reasons.
Possibly, the sentimentality extends into my attempts to fly the flag through your medium as a means of 'levelling up' the coverage of the various areas of my home county.
The phrase itself has become a cliche ever since Brexit, and does very little by way of levelling between the southern and other areas of England, let alone Wales, as part of the United Kingdom.
