I was also pleasantly surprised by the amount of union flags alongside the saltires.
No problems like that in the city centre. I noticed your colleagues on a couple of occasions being helpful, directing people to vantage points etc.
I didn't notice many saltires, mainly union jacks and blue Samsung inflatables stick things. Ideal for kids to hit each other with.

One of the union jacks made it home with us. The other had been waved with so much enthusiasm that is started ripping from the wee pole. It finally gave up the ghost on the train home. There then ensued both daughters laying claim to the surviving flag and me promising to get another over the weekend.

If anybody finds a wee plastic flag minus a stick somewhere between Cambuslang and Uddingston can you return it to London Road c/o Cable Forum.
