      So just because Wales is not a kingdom (tell that to the Tudors) it is ignored on the national flag. A weak excuse.

        Quite So!! Good to see that you give the Dragon and Welsh colours such prominence!! St Patrick can go because Ulster isn't a kingdom any more, which means there is NO UK either, just England. So what abbout this:

            I lived in Glasgow for 2.5 years when I made the mistake of working for the beeb (and that was in the good old days!) - and I clearly remember that many drivers were driving on the right even then - especially on a Friday and Saturday night. Some even used the pavements...

              I'm sure esteemed member Honoured Guest could improve on this with his nose for the niceties of UK politics.

                ... well, for a start - it doesn't include Cornwall. Or Wessex. Or the Soke of Peterborough. Or the Isle of Purbeck. Or the County Palatine of Durham. Or Ely Place. Or the Burgundian Territory of Pimlico. So it's hardly inclusive, is it?

                    Wikipedia assures me that "The Red Hand can be regarded as one of the very few cross-community symbols used in Northern Ireland", but in 15 years of living your side of the Irish Sea, Padraig, I confess I only remember seeing it used in, er, a Unioinist context. Can't help thinking Gordon's design would provoke some discussion. And not least in Little England Beyond Wales where I live.
