Seemingly intelligent Briton's not knowing the real name of their own flag really bloody annoys me! It's only called a Union Jack when flying on the mast of a boat. So rep to you for knowing your British trivia.
Also Hawaii is the only US state ever to have the British union flag embedded in its own which was in thanks for defending them against the Spanish. Which is different to saying 'Hawaii is the only state of the US with the Union Jack still on it's flag' which implies other states did have the union flag on theirs.

Anyone else scrutinise this post for the smallest slip-up..? :grin:
In fairness, the Stars & Stripes once had the Union flag instead of the stars...

True but that was the 13 colonies umbrella flag and not on the individual states flag which is what was being referred to.
In San Francisco there is this building that has all the previous US flags flying outside it except one. No prizes for guessing which one.

once chimbonda leaves his opportunities will increase.
who gives a shit about the union flag? (it's always referred to as the union jack on tv, so it's an easy mistake to make) it's a disgusting flag & I hate everything it symbolises.
