If you're going to be a flag perfectionist you might consider that it's a Union Flag, not a Union Jack.

Just saying.

No, it's clearly been hoisted at sea therefore it's the Jack.

Anyway all this talk of mushrooms has given me a brilliant business idea involving the Kandahar poo pond. Just in case the 15 tons of wet I buried outside Baram Chah has been pilfered.

Shrooms are magic!

It can officially be called the Union Flag or the Union Jack and the distinction between whether you're at sea or not hasn't existed since (I believe) something like 1911.

Just saying.

1902 even.

It is often stated that the Union Flag should only be described as the Union Jack when flown in the bows of a warship, but this is a relatively recent idea. From early in its life the Admiralty itself frequently referred to the flag as the Union Jack, whatever its use, and in 1902 an Admiralty Circular announced that Their Lordships had decided that either name could be used officially. Such use was given Parliamentary approval in 1908 when it was stated that "the Union Jack should be regarded as the National flag".

Never really heard it called the National Flag though.

Some serious hills on that route, particularly on the way back! I remember always having sand in my toes going back home and it chaffed like fuck!

We need to break the logistics of far right Islamist booklets,audiotapes,videos coming in from Saudi Arabia, so these Islamists dont have a hand in raising funds to be used to topple/cause public disorder in other peoples countries while abusing the liberities in the West.

Thanks

I completely agree with you. Fanatics should not be allowed to come here.
