Wow !!!!! That really injects a different level of intelligence into the conversation. :oQuote:

YOU made the claim that "Its only the "Union Jack" when its on the bow of a ship". I simply pointed out that this is not necessarily the case, and provided a link which in turn links to numerous sources which support this view.
You should try reading through the link that you have subsequently posted - it does not in any way support your claim. In fact, the first line of the page linked to could be taken at least by implication as disputing your claim.
As I previously said - I know what I would base my opinion on. ;)
Ah Ha! But you will note that St Patricks Cross is only in the Northern part of the New Union Flag! :DQuote:

Yeah! And this one should be a contender too.

Let's have a referendum.
I would hate to think the Scots get rid of it before we do.
If the scots get independence they will still want all the benefits of the union such as the pound ect.Oh and about our flag,LEAVE THE BLOODY THING ALONE:mad:It actually says where we come from and who built our country.
Wait for it,here they come:p
Here's something to think about. To this day, the British Union Flag/ Jack has never been declared as the National flag of any member country of that union. Each of the members of the Commonwealth has it's own flag. Ours happens to have the Union flag in the canton. Nothing to do with England, or any other union member. The design of our flag was an international competition, open to all. If we change our flag, it should only be Australians who decide. All I ask is, no kangaroos, no Eurekas, nothing to divide the country. Nothing wrong with one like Canada. Bob
