Kingswood Robin Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Well if the Scots vote for independence, some say the blue will have to be removed from the Union flag. Personally I think we should keep it in, just so they know that we still own them really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 British refers to people from the British Isles. Officially (at least in political terms), there is no country called 'Britain'. So unfortunately, you can't not be British but obviously you can be English too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNBT Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I didn't serve in the Royal Navy but my favourite British Flag is the naval ensign that combines the Union Flag with the St George Flag...... Always liked that one as well :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I have no idea why really, but for me the English flag is what I identify with. I look at that flag and I feel like it's "home" or "my country". I look at the Union Jack and think nothing of it, I don't really feel any association with it, if that makes sense. I will always consider myself English, rather than British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White_Dragon_Flag_of_England.png That's the Anglo-Saxon flag of England prior to the Norman conquest. I prefer the Anglo-French 3 lions and St George/ Knights Templar holy tabbard of England's great crusader King Richard the Lionheart. God Bless England's crusaders !!!!!!!....

There is not a picture of it but there was occasionally one in the Eastend. At England games abroad a group of Brentford fans have displayed a very large Royal Standard frequently.

WayOutWest Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 This is my flag. I wish I didnt have the Union Jack part. On hindsight, I wish it were something different. It still serves a purpose and I am totally proud that I own it. If I had my chance again, I would totally go for more of a banner than the Cross of St George.

054123 Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Just looking at those pictures, I'll never be convinced by the premier league or its puppet press that now is as good as it gets. I was born 15 years to late. Oh for yester year. Just thankful I started travelling independently in the mid 90s and caught the dying embers.

Similar happened to gigs. festivals, and the free party scene. It was sanitized, legislated against and succumbed. What is left is a pale expensive, and duller corporate shadow.
