Humph.Sorry mate, that's actually a myth.
No problem, thanks for the apology.Because I've got a hangover.
And don't particularly care for the royal family.
Probably a bit harsh in retrospect,sorry.
Used to think this as well. Looked into it a few months back answering a question from my son. Apparently Jack originally just meant the size of the flag, the small flag they used at the top of masts, but they stopped using those. Parliament ruled the Jack was the national flag in the early 1900s. The idea it’s only a Jack on boats is a fairly recent idea.Only a Union ‘Jack’ if flown on a ship. Union flag otherwise. One of those bits of pedantic information that all your mates will hate you for if you lecture them about it.
It had literally nothing whatsoever to do with Her Madge.Yes and most people fly it upside down.
Correct. How many British people get angry when they spot a shamrock on their lawn, or a spud in their allotment? Thankfully we’re now at peace, mainly thanks to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (RIP).

That's not quite true, since 1908.Only a Union ‘Jack’ if flown on a ship. Union flag otherwise. One of those bits of pedantic information that all your mates will hate you for if you lecture them about it.
That's not quite true, since 1908.
In 1902 the UK's Lords of the Admiralty requested that Parliament consider the Union Jack to be recognised as the flag of the nation. It did so and an Act of Parliament (1908) decreed it. The use of the term “Jack” on a warship was a hangover from the Napoleonic Wars (1803-15) and it's a myth that continues to date. The terms Union Jack or Union Flag are interchangeable as the flag of the nation since their acceptance by the Flag Institute (the UK's flag registry) and by Parliament and the Crown.
It had literally nothing whatsoever to do with Her Madge.
@jedi_toaster, @Leon Solent has seen your pedantry and raised. Do you have any further layers of pedantry or do you fold?
Mrs has the Cooper S - cracking little car but without the flagsGerman cars with union flag markings, WWII really was a pyrrhic victory.
They have nothing in common with real Minis, other than the name, and you could probably fit a real Mini inside one (if you take the 4 elephants out first).
Cars for women who know nothing about cars.
