No English Flag!

Post Tue Jul 22, 2008 10:09 am

Just a small niggle.

Why no option to have an English flag as my icon? The Union Jack's all well and good, but I'm English and would really like my country represented, as I'm sure, would the Scottish and Welsh members!

I remember many years ago I was watching some very short-lived quiz show on the TV which was hosted by Paul Daniels, and in the very first episode they had a contestant who was American. Anyway to get to the second stage of this quiz show you had to answer a really easy question, and the question was: "Which of the following flags is the flag of England?" And they had three flags, and the St George's cross was in the middle. Anyway she picked the Scottish flag. End of show. I nearly died laughing, it was like someone quitting Deal or No Deal after the first round.

Yeah, it's astounding how many non-Brits seem shocked when I tell them the Union Jack isn't actually the flag of England.

Picking the the Saltire (St Andrews Cross/flag of Scotland) is waaay off the mark though. :badgrin:
