Not actually true: wherever it flys the national flag of the UK (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland) is the Union Flag, this is often flown (especially on ships) on a flag pole known as a jack, or Union Jack.

New it was summit like that!    :oops:

Brains:
Did you also know that there is a right and wrong way to fly the flag?

I never knew before we got a flag pole, because we had no end of people saying "why are you flying the flag upside down?" :roll:

I like the link; as a rule the right way up is easy as they are made witht eh wooden toggle and/or loop at the top and the rope that you can tie it up with at the bottom.
