If that's the case, I would imagine they limit out very quickly, making for a short fishing excursion!

I think a nice flag would have at least one optical illusion

Solid green flag, amazing! Wonder what they paid the designer. Easy to make into t-shirts, bed sheets etc.
PS Libia's official name is
Al-Jamahiriya Al-Arabiya Al-Libiyah Ash-Shabiya Al-Ishtrakia
The old flag was a little too umm... Happy? I think WW2 Germany nertz those colors.

Yes Wales is a country that is part of the UK. England have their own flag, Scotland have theirs and we have ours. Here's our Welsh flag, which obviously I think is the best :P

Except Wales are allowed to fly their flag, England isn't!

Well who wouldn't want a Gryphon on their flag, looks pretty cool.

Looks like the image of the beast in scripture. Scary!!

Almost looks like a wall decoration at a Chinese buffet!
BTW why aren't the Welsh referred to as Wales instead?

Why aren't the Americans reffered to as America?! America is the country, Americans are the people who are born / live in that country. Similarly, Wales is the country, and the Welsh are the people who are from that country.

Nigel - I can't even count the number of English flags I see stuck to people's cars or in their home windows, especially during a sporting event. And I've seen the English flag used as a symbol to identify English participants in sporting events, too. Obviously, if the sporting event is made up of participants picked from the "pool" of the entire UK, then usually the British flag is used.

They can't stop the public flying it, but it's not allowed on public buildings - apparently the PC brigade consider it 'racist'?. We can fly the Welsh flag on public buildings though!.

Brian Hoskins · 24th January 2008, 11:33 PM

I think it's probably because England is seen as "Great Britain" and the rest of us just come under England's umbrella. Because of this, it's frowned upon for England to support an English flag on public buildings - as if it's an insult to the other countries of the UK.

I have to say I don't agree with that though. Everyone should be able to show a bit of pride for their country if they want to. If I see someone flying an England flag it doesn't make me feel in the least bit angry or irritated at all. If they're from England, why shouldn't they feel proud of that if they want to? As long as we beat them at Rugby I couldn't care what flag they fly!

It's all part of the silly political correctness thing isn't it.
