England flags that say 'ENGLAND' on them

wrightylew [Edit] [Delete] 45 replies 14:20, 19 May '10

So shit. Please just stick to the good old cross. People know what it means.

Or even better, ditch it altogether and get a Union Flag instead. That pretty much means England anyway, and it looks so much better.

Thanks.

  • No it doesn't

    The Union Jack (or Union flag or whatever the proper term is) looks awful.

    • Nepal > all other flags

      Crazy feckers didn't restrict themselves to a quadrilateral. Half a christmas tree is where it's at for those cats.

      • It's a great flag.

        I've always been jealous of it, the American flag sucks so much ass...

      • The Union Jack doesn't mean England.

      • My favourite times are the Augusts and Septembers of even-numbered years

        when the summer tournaments are finished, England are long out, but those lazy drivers who attached those cheap flags to their cars haven't yet removed the stems, but the flags have all but disintegrated from too much tearing down the A2 to get to Dover and load up on cheap booze.

        It's symbolic of something. I'm not sure what. Probably just cheap flags.

                It's probably a clever satire of something. God knows what though.

                  i thought of doing exactly that

                  damn you sir, damn you.

        • That is a well good flag.

          If I had to choose my 2nd favourite flag it'd be that one. Watch:

          1. Union flag
          2. That one
          3. Poland

        • I think that The Union Jack...

          ...is one of the best looking flags around. Why not go with a Union/George Cross double?

        • The Union Jack isn't just a beautiful flag

          it's a thing of beauty in its own right. I love the design of it. I'm not being remotely ironic.

            never took down the massive flags in the window and strung across the street it put up for St George's Day. Especially around election time, a full month before the World Cup, it began to look a trifle suspicious.

            The central premise of the group name is true enough. But you know exactly what you're going to get amongst the contributors when you look in that group (racists/illiterates/combinations of the two). Oh, and usually the person that set the group up will show a lack of ability in the mother tongue of the country they love so much... tick, again here.

            Have enough friends on Facebook and you keep seeing groups like this pop up in your news feed. I've purged a few "friends" lately, although this one survived because I have no reason to think he is racist, I just wish he'd look at what he's joining.
