How did no one spot the flag was so wrong?
Anyway its an interesting new design.

Was just reading about it.
Am amazed that it wasn't spotted by the flag bearer/raiser.

And yes, the different design looks quite striking.

it has to be faked ? if its real then those concerned are not fit for purpose

 

[steve52]

but it is cool and would make a great new flag for the new unin when scotland leaves

We had a wall print,basically wall paper by Vivienne Westwood ,which the Union Jack appears the wrong way up ,we removed it after many comments about it

Seeing as we don't seem to manufacture anything more complex than a pencil sharpener in this country anymore, I should think that flag was manufactured in China and hoisted by a recent immigrant from Moldavia.

Perhaps they did notice but didn't have a replacement to hand and thought a wrong flag was better than no flag?

Checking the flag is probably not in the job description of the bloke who puts it up.

That's hilarious, I wish I'd seen it!

Wouldn't work, it still has the Scottish element in it. If they go, we lose the blue....

Or maybe someone put it on upside down

That flag is for those who don't know if they are coming or going

It was always a talking point ,it was £250 for the piece ,we kept it 3 years and the decorator hung it per instructions ,and the designers spec,I never liked it!!
