Shame on you Asda - wave the flag

This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today, and has been written by our American colleagues. It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald.

I read that Asda has been having a word with some of its suppliers complaining that they are packaging their goods in Union Jack boxes and wrappers during this patriotic period of the Jubilee and the Olympics..

The supermarket giant is, apparently, concerned the flag will not sell well with some communities in Northern Ireland and Scotland.

Asda is an American-owned company. I shall be shopping elsewhere from now on.
