I am glad to be British because

Aren't you assuming there, Elegran, that everyone has a flag?
Not that I wouldn't mind having a Welsh dragon, but I haven't got a flag to sew it onto.
I imagine I am in the majority here, too.

The patches would have to be printed in Britain, though, on British cotton if anyone still makes it, not imported from China.

I think being a spare patch stitched on is an insult

That is an economical recycling idea, RQ No need to scrap all the existing flags, just issue an update in the form of a dragon patch, plus perhaps a needle and a length of thread to sew it on with. Could they be sent out to all citizens along with the election roll notifications, maybe, to save double postage?

I wouldn't know jingle , have only left the UK once to spend two weeks in Paris, have always holidayed in the UK

I don't understand why anyone would want to fly a union jack, or any flag really, in their back garden! I think it's a bit odd. I'm sorry, but I do.

That was kind Nelliemoser , I think a dragon slam in the middle would be just perfect

They've got all those things in other countries. The UK is only divided from the rest of Europe by a tiny strip of water.

I am glad to be British because I can speak my own language , if I left the UK I would have to move to Patagonia

I love that in such a small Island one can drive through a beautiful but flat county and see the most beautiful mountains in the next county. I love the beauty of the Cotswolds, Yorkshire Dales and Moors, the coastline of Cornwall, the cities and towns in the North of England because one can feel their history , love the rivers , love the lochs in Scotland , love every blade of grass, grain of earth and stone in Wales . And that we say 'so sorry' when some idiot walks into us

I do love the UK

Rosequartz You just crossed my post. An excellent flag idea you found there.
You could call yourself Quarzite.

Lots of Rose type names as well as Nellies,

Maybe wait a wee while in case Scotland break away from the union, if MS has her way then no sooner will we have designed a new flag, then we will be designing another one.
probably better to leave things as they are.
Elegran, you have now put Jerusalem into my head ( and I know every word.)

I think the one shown in my link is very suitable.
It wouldn't take much to change it, just sew a patch in the middle of each flag

I think I might be perfectly happy living in France.

Sometimes I think we should mention to the migrants that living in this country isn't all it's cracked up to be. It could be a tiny bit over-rated. I mean, it's ok but.... well, there are other countries which are alright as well.

I would quite like to live in Madrid. But it's a bit hot in the summer.

I'm sure some would prefer 'The Red Flag' - got to be inclusive, you know...

It is about time The Welsh got a look in on our Union Flag. That lovely Ddraig Goch would look good. I am sure someone could find a way to fit a Red Dragon into the union flag. Then it would at least look like a flag of the United Kingdom.

Perhaps split our current flag into four sections.

England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Since the formation of the The Republic of Eire It might be better to leave off St Patricks flag and incorporate the flag of the the province of Ulster instead but that just might not go down very well with Northern Ireland's Catholics and republican sympathisers.
Better not try it for at least another 100 yrs

Time to stop these crazy ideas. And so to bed.

When you finish the national anthem, you could start on "I vow to thee my country" or "Jerusalem" or maybe "Land of soap and water".

Could this one be introduced?

I think that we should all be grateful for what we have in this beautiful country. I have lived overseas for over twenty years until recently and can say hand on heart that there are not many other places in the world that are so humane, courteous, well-mannered and tolerant as Britain. You don't know what you've got till it's gone - appreciate it!!

A rose by any other name...

Has anyone realised we are identical twins?

I hope you are not claiming my witty ripostes as your own RQ?

You never said a truer word Elegran, so I am singing the National anthem right now to feel good, well, humming it anyway.
do you know, it works, I feel better already.

I am going to have to change my name.
People seem to be attributing remarks to me on all threads and attributes which I do not claim to have because some posters think that all people with similar names are apparently the same person (or clones)

Or just call me quartzie

Delete "a lot" and replace it with "some"

I don't see any posts which say they don't like living here, but I do see a lot which say (silently) that they don't like the people who also live post here.
