but you're not on there

Being my point exactly. Incidentally, the flags included are of saints, not kings, so it would be St David's Cross that was included, not a dragon.

But you're still a principality - not a kingdom, so you're represented by the cross of st. george, along with England.

What is St. David's cross actually?

The red vertical and hoorizontal lines are St. George, the blue and white diagonals and St. Andrew, what are the red diagonals?

what are the red diagonals?

NI I think?

St Patrick's flag is red diagonals on a white background.

If it's to do with Kings, then why are the crosses of the Saints used, and why do Scotland and Northern Ireland appear as neither have their own King.

When was the last time you saw a Welshman waving a St George's cross as his country's flag?

I have two Union/Check flag Badges on my wings of my Racing Green, that’s as far as I go.

Its not that im not patriotic I love my country, I know the words to my national anthem, I stand up every time I here it and I have a Union Flag and a St George's Cross folded in a draw.

But I don’t like them on the roof, door cards, dash, seat, and parcel shelf or all over the car.

Okay, I do have to admit the airbrushed one does look nice but.......Who looks at a roof?

[JohnGordon]

Who looks at a roof?

erm... everyone who drives a modern car or walks past???

I dont think they have choice! =P

[Rhyd]

Don't even get me started on the national anthem!

[Rhyd]

Hi,
We've got A German spec' Mini Monza.

The A panels have small Union Flag badges as standard.....................
How confused is that? German car, Italian track, British Flags? Looks good though!!!

I find rather a lot of people do, I get comments about it whenever I'm hanging around Vern. You might have realised minis aren't very tall and when parked up it is very noticable.

To do with Kingdom's, not King's.

The Queen is officially the Queen of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland, among other places. Therefore they are all Kingdom's, and as part of the act of union, or whatever it was ended up on the Union Flag.

Wales is a principality, hence the Prince of Wales, rather then a Kingdom, so isn't included.

And we'd best be careful here else Cornwall will want their cross on there too!

As an aside, East Anglia has it's own flag, which is effectively a St. Georges cross with three gold lions in the middle...
