I found it interesting how they determine how to space things and such. Something I never thought about how to put on paper.

It is only called the Union Jack when flown on the jack staff of a ship or boat. The flag's name is "The Union Flag"

Just for clarity, it is usually named wrongly here too.

And nice to see how to do it, it is a difficult flag to draw (damn committee design)

Graham, read the detailed discussion in the article! (I guess this is one of the endless silly controversies like "when does a millennium start".)

I did read it after I posted Theo, in my defense, that was what I was taught at school, still the parliamentary act was passed much later

" given Parliamentary approval in 1908 when it was stated that "the Union Jack should be regarded as the National flag".

Anyhow, who said parliament was right, what do they know
