I think you'll find your real name should be Judge Flag, unless you are on the Black Atlantic.

Quote1606 Union Jack created

Still doesn't mean our national flag is called the Union Jack.

That's because you aren't part of this world and your flag is of a wrinkled bag eating a sausage  ;)

I'll reiterate..when this was created it was called a Union Jack..the design has not changed..you can argue the toss with me until your blue in the face..but it's like someone arguing that Christmas is Christ's birthday

We all know it isn't but accept it anyway

It's a Union Jack..call it by any name you like..doesn't change a thing

But it wasn't called Union Jack in 1606...

Was called a flag.  Flag of Britain before the term Union became popular.

Soccer, however, is not a US word.  It is a British one, abbreviated from Association in the FA...

I have no idea what you are arguing about. As we have said it is only the Union Jack when on a ship and when it is on land, it is called the Union Flag.

I'm just arguing for the sake of it..just because I dislike being corrected  ;)

Definitely Not Mister Pops

You're all wrong. It's called the Union Jill because the monarch is female  ::)
You may quote me on that.

If you wish to split hairs Beeksy then this is the union jack from 1606. Different to our UNION FLAG by one nation.

Also this was nicknamed 'The Union' by the navy. The word Jack is still cloudy of when it was first used.
