You take the high road...

Would we stop flying the Union Flag if they became independent?

no - it seems not..

the College of Arms has told ITV News that there are no plans to change the Union Flag if Scotland becomes an independent state.

despite not being a nation but a principality - I think it would be a good opportunity to axe the scots blue and incorporate a welsh dragon...

of course - I guess this would be a MASSIVELY expensive exercise considering all the union flags/jacks there are in the Empire!

[bwfcdan94]

Or we could just do away with it completely given every Welshman outside of Swansea would not be caught dead with a union jack. Lets just start flying England flags.

[Lord Kangana]

I can't say I've ever waved any national flag, so I'll waive that particular privilege, if you don't mind dan.

[bwfcdan94]

So you have never even stood above an England flag at a football match because that is very much the jest of what I am saying.

Dan.....

[Lord Kangana]

I'm not quite sure how I could stand above a flag, or indeed how the act of standing above one (which I would still be unsure of) would equate to me waving one. And not waiving one. As it were.

Really ? You think ??

If the kilt wearers leave, and the remark about the sheer cost of changing the flag isn't irrelevant, taking the blue out would leave the Union flag looking rather anaemic.

It's a shame the construct has no Welsh inclusion, but the green won't sit well ... simply as a matter of sheer taste, and some mythical animal stuck on it ?? Not for me.

Anyway, the flag we have, even if things overtake it, is iconic and by far one off the better flags of the World.

gist?

[boltonboris]

Yes, it's gist..

But honestly apart from the pedantic bastards, who gives a shit? We all knew what you meant.

No, Dan. Jizz.

[Montreal Wanderer]

I imagine they would incorporate St. David's cross rather than a dragon.



Arriving at something like:

[bobo the clown]

mmmmm .... I think I'll leave it tbh !!

[thebish]

^ which is why we don't employ canadians to design our flags!

[TANGODANCER]

Trying to help the lad with grammar isn't being a pedantic bastard.

yeah - but singling him out for constant correction when it is perfectly clear what he is meaning, kind of, errr... is! (NB - just my view etc.)

Something you, of course have never done with anyone...

^ I make a point of correcting the grammar/spelling those who have a habit of correcting the grammar/spelling of others... I still think that's reasonable.

Stressing over Dan putting jest rather than gist doesn't fall into that remit. Well done, though, for your selfless dedication to Dan's education! You're a credit to your generation - giving something back.

Like I've said many, many times, you're a very wonderful chap. Give yourself a pat on the head, preferably with a lump hammer.
