Union Jack
Have been overseas a bit in the past 12 months and I am currently in Indonesia. One thing I have noticed in all the countries is just how often you see the old Union Jack, it's bloody everywhere and used in so much advertising, on clothing and handbags.
Guess being an Olympic year could have something to do with it. When I was backpacking around the globe 25/30 years ago you hardly ever saw it. It was all Stars n Stripes back then. I guess eventually it will get done to death and it will be someone else's flags turn.
It's an iconic symbol though and always nice to see it.
That bloody 'Keep Calm' shit is also everywhere around the globe, be glad to see the back of that tat ;-)
