Posted March 23, 200816 yr Moderator And another thing, Why are so many of you English flying the union flag, are you not proud to be English? The Scots and the Welsh Fly their own flags and rightly so, The flag of St George, you'll find it under ESTONIA' My God, Next thing Scotland, Wales and Union flag will all disappear and be replaced by the bloody Euro banner thingy

March 24, 200816 yr Moderator followed ure lead now proud member of estonia,wondered where the flag came from!!!! its the George cross. St George was orignally from italy but campained in the east, so many countries use the George cross somewhere. (Spain, Italy, Estonia and England)
March 24, 200816 yr Author Moderator its the George cross. St George was orignally from italy but campained in the east, so many countries use the George cross somewhere. (Spain, Italy, Estonia and England) Hi Drewpy, and I thought the George cross was a medal, anyway, point is when when new members join and are asked to pick a country flag, England isnt there, and after all, we do have a flag....dont we.
March 24, 200816 yr Moderator Im proud to be English (although my family are originally from somewhere else!), but i am also proud to be a member of the United Kingdom, which embraces all the countries which are part of it. I see no need to segregate myself from the scots or the welsh or anyone else in the UK for that matter - therefore i fly the Union Jack with pride
April 22, 200816 yr 1. God save our gracious Queen, Long live our noble Queen, God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us; God save the Queen! 2. O Lord our God arise, Scatter her enemies And make them fall; Confound their politics, Frustrate their knavish tricks, On Thee our hopes we fix, God save us all! 3. Thy choicest gifts in store On her be pleased to pour; Long may she reign; May she defend our laws, And ever give us cause To sing with heart and voice, God save the Queen! 4. Not in this land alone, But be God's mercies known, From shore to shore! Lord make the nations see, That men should brothers be, And form one family, The wide world over. 5. From every latent foe, From the assassins blow, God save the Queen! O'er her thine arm extend, For Britain's sake defend, Our mother, prince, and friend, God save the Queen! 6. Lord grant that Marshal Wade May by thy mighty aid Victory bring. May he sedition hush, And like a torrent rush, Rebellious Scots to crush. God save the Queen WHoops Just getting Carried away

April 22, 200816 yr Moderator Hi Drewpy, and I thought the George cross was a medal, anyway, point is when when new members join and are asked to pick a country flag, England isnt there, and after all, we do have a flag....dont we. that's The George Cross. (Capitalisation)
April 23, 200816 yr well come on look at our flag just makes you a bit ashamed of showing your flag Not Me!!!!!!!!!!! It is Saint Georges Day to day.
April 23, 200816 yr that's The George Cross. (Capitalisation) Actually, the pedant in me says that the English flag is officially known as St George's Cross. The George Cross and The Cross of St George are UK and Russian medals respectivley. Sadly, it is not uniquely English, as it is also the National flag of Georgia, although the Georgian flag has an additional Swiss-style red cross in each of the four white sections. Gawd; how dull was THAT post? I'll get me coat.
