Yes! I think that it's terrible if they don't know the right way up.
You can tell if it's the wrong way up because the diagonal red stripes should "point" anticlockwise. If the flag was upside down, then the stripes would "point" clockwise. See link:
The second link is a more detailed analysis of the flag.

No, i never saw union jack upside down on a public building because i don't think that the guy who had set up the flag is not so stupid to put it upside down.

For goodness sake its easy.
Look at the red diagonal cross on the side nearest the flagpole, it should be lower against the position of the white background, if it were upside down the red diagonal would be higher.
Flying it upside down is a signal of distress.
PS its only a 'Union Jack' when flown as a Jack pennant on board a ship.

exchange into the deliver in misery - if so that's actual ligitimate. yet enable's be common, in basic terms some human beings could rather even comprehend - that's in all likelihood why it exchange into the different way up on the TS. Our large flag is a touch annoying to know as the different way up for the casual observer - enable's be common. that's not like the celebs and stripes, or Italian tricolour, is it. factors to you for noticing, although.

Yes
Hanging correctly the broad white band of St Andrew's cross should be uppermost at the top left-hand corner of the flag (ie the hoist) The narrow white field is St Patrick's cross.

But in Australia it did NOt look upside down
The wider white stripes goes to the TOP nearest mast/pole when the flag is flying from a mast

Yes, the council do it all the time, no matter how many times its pointed out to them. Ignorant tosspots are probably begrudging flying it in the first place. They seem to prefer that awful corrupt invasive euro rag with the yellow circle of stars.
