Yes, Australia's not a colony.

Up to the Aussies I guess. Alot of them seem to like coming here though and not just for holidays.

I hope Gordon issues an appology soon to the abo's for invading years ago.

Well it's on the Hawian flag, the septics don't seem to hung up over it.

No. The Union Flag is there for historic reasons. Australia was a British colony, and changing a flag will not change that.

Now that the Scots and Northern Irish (and Welsh) have devolved parliaments (and the EU call the shots anyway), should the Union Flag not be scrapped in favour of something more accurate?

any suggestions Gromit?

What about a crossed pair of knitting needles over a yoghurt pot, surrounded by a ring of lentils on a beige background?

I think the Australians have got us mixed up with somebody else.

They seem to be confusing us with people who give a sh!t.

youngmafbog

Hemp for the background eh R1 ?

Gromit

If there is no longer a British Union, why bother with a flag?

On public occasions we could raise and salute a Buckingham Palace Tea Towel (£6.99 from the gift shop).

youngmafbog

Well I am sure our EU masters will soon force us to loose our flag, so perhaps the Aussies can loose it then too.

Makes you wonder why the EU doesn't design a flag to cover us all doesn't it!

I thought they had, Geez ... the blue flag and circle of stars.
