I'm a non-expert on the union flag so how do you tell if such a flag is upside down when it is hung sideways?

Jack. It's a jack.
'...in 1908 the UK Parliament approved this verdict, stating that ‘the Union Jack should be regarded as the National flag’.

Welcome yourself into the new modern crisis
Or it's not, but more importantly I just learned that the study of flags is 'vexillology'. What a brilliant word.

Sorry to disappoint, but I've been to that boozer. My cousin lives round the corner. She's way too snobby to go in there, mind.

Or perhaps it's evidence that the missionary position isn't compulsory for flag shaggers.

There's a fairly strong westerly at the moment. SWMBO did 80km in 3 hours today.

Having a monarchy next door is a little like having a neighbour who’s really into clowns and has daubed their house with clown murals, displays clown dolls in each window and has an insatiable desire to hear about and discuss clown-related news stories. More specifically, for the Irish, it’s like having a neighbour who’s really into clowns and, also, your grandfather was murdered by a clown.
Beyond this, it’s the stuff of children’s stories. Having a queen as head of state is like having a pirate or a mermaid or Ewok as head of state. What’s the logic? Bees have queens, but the queen bee lays all of the eggs in the hive. The queen of the Britons has laid just four British eggs, and one of those is the sweatless creep Prince Andrew, so it’s hardly deserving of applause.

Just responded on a local fb group where the gammony class are in full froth about lack of flags/patriotism in the young/local council/neighbours/woke and generally whingeing that it's not like it was at the '77 Jubilee....
Christ! That was 45 years ago...half the population were not around then, the world has moved-on somewhat. I don't recall in '77 people going round saying it wasn't like it was back in 1932, but maybe I missed-it.
Still, it'll all be bunting in the bin by this time next week.....
Hoorah!
