Let me know if LL/SL ever does engage in armed conflict because that is something I would have to see to believe.

SarahKB7 Koskinen Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) England: Saint George's Cross flag. Scotland: Saint Andrew's Saltire flag. Ireland (pre 1921): Saint Patrick's Saltire flag. * Wales is represented by England's flag, as Wales was annexed into the Kingdom of England in 1284 & 1536. ** Northern Ireland has been represented in the Union Flag by the Saint Patrick's Saltire flag since 1921. In 1959, an official national flag for Wales was created for the first time, just in time for Prince Charles' Investiture as Prince of Wales in 1969: Wales also has a patron saint flag too, the Saint David's Flag, some Welsh prefer it as their national flag: Edited April 8 by SarahKB7 Koskinen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love Zhaoying Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 1 hour ago, Persephone Emerald said: It's just like "very" then, an overused qualifier that adds no actual meaning, with the exception that "quite" sounds pretentious when used by someone who is not English.

Zalificent Corvinus Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 3 hours ago, Love Zhaoying said: How could they NOT be "quite correct", assuming they are an "authority"? The "Flag Institute" is a private club for Flag-Nerds, that's claimed charitable Status. They are an Officially Unofficial body that keeps an Officially Unofficial register of all Flags used by towns, counties, civic bodies, organisations, etc., in the UK. In SL terms, think a bunch of Bellicosian HOA Committee members stomping around the Mainland telling people off for not using the right flags. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh course they are symbolic. By the time those Flag-Mergers were taking place, any "aggressive negotiations" involved muskets, not bows! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time Ireland was in play, they probably were mostly using firearms. Edited April 8 by Theresa Tennyson 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, a RED sexy minidres looks sexier than a white one. Or. They are all in fact, made and exported from Switzerland, as a cunning ploy to help Chocolate sales, my making it much easier for the "patients" seeing the "nurses" to melt their chocolate bars.

Peeve: General Foods International Coffee flavors did not include a "Geneva" flavor. I suppose "Suisse Mocha" would have to do.
