I have just realised that while there is a flag for Scotland and Wales and the UK, (and everyother country,) there is not one for England. Would it be possable to put an English flag in.

:-) I'd like one too. I'm all for the United Kingdom but as Bish says there are flags for every other country, so it would only be fair.
Also the UK flag appears to be upside down!

Ok...is that a joke? How can it be determined to be either way? The bottom and top look to be mirror copies to me.

Jim

PS: This all started because I added Wales and the Isle of Mann as flag options. Then if I remember correctly Arthur asked me to add Scotland. I don't have a problem adding the English flag...but one could argue the fierce independence history of "England".

Cheers,
Jim

I think all us Brits should use the Union flag,if only for one reason,to try and outnumber the Ex colonials,otherwise its Civil War,and will go back to the Saltire.

Bish,
Lol..

Btw, BBCode doesn't work for the signature line. You need to use HTML for that image.

:-) No Joke, I was going to mention this some time before but when I copied the Union flag and increased its size I found that it wasn't upside down it was just wrong and looks upside down when scaled down. On the real Union Flag the white of the Scotish flag portion is not equaly spaced around the thin red diagonal cross. The thicker white area should be uppermost, where it attaches to the flag pole.
