Answer 7

IS THIS A TRICK? Are you referring to the flag of the United Kingdom or the flag of Britain - strictly Britain doesn't have a flag although the countries in it all do. Britain certainly comprises England, Scotland and Wales - Ireland is not really considered part of the British Isles hence the fact that my passport says "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

There is an apocryphal story that some documents say "England, Scotland, Wales and Berwick upon Tweed" due to the last named town changing its allegiance between England and Scotland several times.

The flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is properly called the Union Flag, with jack describing a flag flying on a ship. That said, most people will understand Union Jack - possibly more than would understand Union Flag.

But just because the other children do it doesn't make it right! If they jumped in the river would that make it right for you to?

Answer 8

Answer 10

It's officially the Union Flag, but is commonly known as the Union Jack...

Squirrel...the flag which is the red cross on a white background is the flag of St. George, which is the flag of England, not of Britain.
