The history of the union between the four nations is a beautiful story and I think we can agree makes one hell of a flag.
By the way if you want your own 20 foot British union flag, you should buy one and while you wait you could be playing Outer Frontier, available on personal computer systems.
England and Scotland joined in what is known as the acts of union 1707. The Scottish saint Andrew’s solitaire and the English saint George’s cross joined to form one of the snazziest flags in the world.
The flag was cool but it was just missing something, that’s when England started to give Ireland the sexy eyes.
And just like that the best flag in the world is conceived in the 1800’s, to create the Union flag. Representing the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Unfortunately in 1922 southern Ireland becomes a piss ant so leaves the band, but besides a name change the flag looks just as stylish.
As for why Wales isn’t represented, well at the time Wales was basically part of England. And besides, saint David’s cross looks like this. Even if you used the dragon it would throw things off.
The flag is usually only referred to as the Union Jack when displayed from the Jack of a vessel.
Now the Union flag properly displayed should look like this, not this.
So how could you tell if a British vessel was in trouble?
Well it would usually be on fire.
