I think it's more convention than a rule.

But some believe that the Wiki is incorrect.:sneaky:

Re: Flying the flag?
 

Just looked - no other facing except brick, stone or shingle, no wooden fences, no chain link fences, houses must have 2 garages minimum, no house smaller than 3,500sq ft (hah, we have a written exemption there!), two storey and ranch only - no raised ranch allowed. That's it, nothing about flags. It must be a personal taste thing around here. I don't like them either, so it suits me.

And the whole union flag/union jack thing is only since that Dr Who episode, I bet half of the UK didn't know that until then.

Often? No, I dont think so.

Sometimes its abused, and for a short time misleading info is present, but its largely self regulating.

If you dont agree with something and can back up your view, then go ahead and change it, but what you tend to get is a consensus view of the facts as agreed by the majority, often with a lot more detail and "evidence" than you would think possible. You can always go back through the history and see how the info has evolved.

Personally Im not going to argue with the Merchant Shipping act of 1995, and I'm not quite paranoid enough to think anyone hacked into the government website to change the text of it in order to triumph in a discussion on Wikipedia about what the British Flag should be called.

Re: Flying the flag?
 

Since you can't have wooden fences, what sort of fence is commonly used?

Wasn't there a study that showed Wikipedia's scientific articles were as accurate/inaccurate as Encyclopaedia Britannica's?

Coiled razor wire sounds allowable.

Re: Flying the flag?
 

I'll leave the flag flying to those with waterfront property and private moorage. If I was going to fly one it'd be the BC flag:

Re: Flying the flag?
 

If you're going to try and get all technically correct, then perhaps none of us should fly the Union flag (which has been known colloquially and in Parliament as the Union Jack for over 100 years so there's long precedent for the term "jack" being used outside the naval context) at all. It is, after all, a flag of the Monarch rather than of the Nation.
