Flags on car windows

Dave Swindell left a note on my windscreen which said:

Union Flags, shirley?

 

rb left a note on my windscreen which said:

How do you know? Thickness of the little white lines I presume?

 

Either usage is acceptable. The Anal 'Flag not jack' brigade got it
wrong.

 

Anal flags sound very wrong to me... but so do anal jacks.

It's awful when patriotism goes to far.

 

Ace left a note on my windscreen which said:

I owe my mistake to previous subscription and information posted here.
Who do I email for compensation?

 

Who gives a ****?

 

Me. If you are going to fly a flag then why would you want to fly it
upside down?

 

Stoneskin says...

Correct

 

Why would you care?

 

I didn't say I had a rational reason for it, it's just something that
irks me.

Is there nothing that winds you up that shouldn't really matter?

 

See my reply to Ben Blaney.

I've pretty much got a reason for everything that annoys me.

 

It's a jack when used in nautical terms, meaning the
small flag flown at the bow of a ship to mark nationality,
but it has become acceptable to call it the Union Jack
at other times.

Goodness gracious, a language that evolves.

Nobody tell the French!

 

If you're going to fly a flag, why would you want to fly a flag for
an out of date economic union anyway, when there's one available for
your own country that looks far less crap.

How do you know if you're flying the Cross of St George upside down?

 

Because the word "England" across the middle will be upside down, of
course.

 

I dont think I have on mine [1]. I did think about buying some for it
but I thought it'd take away from the blakness of the thing. I'd
forgotten about it by the time that the bloke doing the first service
took half an hour to stamp the fecking book.

[1] unless theres a tiddly one on the tail piece.
