Why don't you just say what you mean? Does it matter what part of Great Britain he comes from and if so, why?

Forget it, was curious is all :thumbdown:

I've never been a flag-flying person - and if I'm honest, find it all a little uncomfortable and I'm not exactly sure why. Could be something to do with having parents from Northern Ireland, and Union Jacks and Tricolors had such powerful allegiances !

It's sad, but like many people now, I just associate the flag-waving with a world cup or a sports event. So I'm not loud and proud.

There is a large Maple Leaf 'flag' in the centre pages of our local newspaper, with a prize going to anyone who is photographed waving it at our Canada Day concert next week. I'd feel odd waving it, and mortified if I won :confused:

Please see my bold in the previous post. Wiki is something anyone can add their opinion to therefore it is'nt always factual. (Apart from Wiki BE:thumbsup:)

My point being IMO Wiki is often technically incorrect. As far as I am concerned if HM calls it the Union Flag, which she does, then its the Union Flag.

Feel weird when i go to a hockey game with regards to the national anthem..not sure why. Although it doesnt quite have the same punch as the English one :rofl:

During footie when in England have flown the St. Georges cross - hurriedly swept in in the dead of the night, when the lose as normal :rofl:

My sort of thinkin with the Union Jack being flown with regards to who fly it and where they are from. To me and what i've seen/heard i know of no Irish persons that would want to fly the Union Jack.

I'm a woman - nobody needs to have peed in my cornflakes to make me irrational....:)

Re: Flying the flag?
 

Just my opinion but I play in an British/Canadian Hockey league where we play both National Anthems and despite being British I get more pumped up by the Canadian one.

Then maybe you should have written the above as:

Our point being IOO Wiki is often technically incorrect. As far as One is concerned if HM calls it the Union Flag, which she does, then it's the Union Flag.

Re: Flying the flag?
 

I could be wrong but.....The Union Jack is only call the Union Jack when it is flown at sea.....all other times the Union Jack is in fact the Union Flag...:rofl:

A bit of useless information non the less....:thumbsup:
