    Default Re : Happy Birthday Union 'Flag'

    Gah, even foreigners know that the principality of Wales was already united with England and therefore didn't have it's flag represented seperately on the union flag. The kingdom of England and Wales formed a union with Scotland, and later Ireland.

    One thing has always puzzled me to no end though: why oh why is St. Patricks cross skewed on the union flag?
    (Assuming the Irish cross is St. Patricks, and that on its own it forms a proper cross)

    edit: oops, union flag, not jack.
