Quote from: Gandalfjust want to correct an misconception amongst many american posters:
The Union Jack is not only the 'flag of England'.. it is also the flag of Scotland, ie that is why it is called the *union* jack. Both countires still have their own flags of course but we both also share the *union* jack flag: if you look at the design of the UJ it is made up of both the scottish and english flag designs.
The reason I'm saying this is because after last years Tartan Day celebrations in New York, some people were asking why many of the pipe bands were carrying 'english flags' as well as scottish ones... meaning of course the Union Jack.

lol S'also only a Union Jack when it's flying on a ship, otherwise it's just called the Union Flag.
Hurrah for useless information!
