Here in Britain, we sometimes use "flag day" to mean a charity collection - as in "The RSPCA are having a flag day today" - though the phrase is not as common now as it used to be, since it's now uncommon for donors to be given flags to stick in their buttonholes; stickers or the like are now much more widely seen.

I was unaware of the use of "flag day" given in the article, until I read it - I had only ever known it to mean a type of charity collection (which is what I was looking for).--DuncanHill 10:53, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
