The Union Jack

[Doon frae Troon]

No, the union Jack

I don't think Hogan lives on a boat.

I love the Scottish Lion Rampant......that is a proper grown up flag.

I have a huge St George's cross off a ferry that's mahoosive and has been all over with Chelsea & England, also a very large Red Hand Of Ulster, also got a large Royal flag with 3 golden Lions on as seen above Bucks house.

Wouldn't have or own a Union Jack.

There are loads of Union Flags & Red Hand Of Ulster flags flying up here in Scotland, must be Marching Time.......

It sure is old and it is..............

Go to America and it is "spot the house without one".

I don't recall seeing any on my trips to the states.... plenty of Stars and Stripes though!

Ok it's a tiny one stuck out a window but it's better than nothing.

I have a red warning flag for when HID is at home. And there's a hooter for when she is shot blasting

Ooooooo, turned into a smart Alec now :ears:. (well picked up though. The usual pedants will be very upset that they missed that one)

Shame the Union Flag (Union Jack) is not appreciated more day to day, aside from whatever negative association and division within UK it may contribute to, as a flag in itself it's arguably the most recognizable and beautifully designed flag out there for grandness, colour, pattern, really strong brand for Britain. All these countries with their boring tricolours and plain crosses etc must be well jealous #flagenvy.

I agree that it is indeed a very emblematic and rather beautiful flag in all it's simplicity of design. Actually in the same sort of way as the Stars and Stripes.

Great to see support for my fellow Republic of Ireland countrymen in Ulster. Remember Ulster is made up of 9 counties in total and not just the 6 in Northern Ireland.

The red hand is also included in crest of the GAA county jerseys of Monaghan and Cavan. Not included in the Donegal crest.

As for the OP simple no.

Every fact has a lifespan, it is either disproven or becomes obsolete/out of date

Is that a fact?

I think the Cuban flag is my favourite. For more facts about flags you need to tune into Sheldon Coopers online show, "Fun with Flags" :thup:

The Union Flag / Jack is not a great flag in terms of passing one of the unofficial key tests for a flag. Can it be easily reproduced by a child? As most Brits can not even get it the right way up, I have no idea which way it should be, then that is not a great start. The flag is not simple to replicate, too complicated. I know, let's have a referendum to choose a new flag. Anyone, anyone still there...................

A plain white one?

 

[USER1999]

A plain white one?

A red one?

A red one?

I was just wondering why the Americans are so proud of their flag and we generally aren't.

Possibly because we are not 'one nation' and probably never will be...
