It's not a jack, it's a union flag.Well working in the most historic port in the country - Chatham I 'm rather partial to a flag. My main observation often the Union Jack is hung incorrectly. yes it can be hung upside down.
Secondly obviously caravan'ers from the Isle of Man are rare but I have heard of one motorhomer who raised his Manx flag in southern Spain and nearly caused a riot as it was close to or replicates the Basque flag or rather that of some based Basque based terror group so be careful!!

OK Its probably a good thing for your children to be able to identify you 'van on a busy site, but why a flag? Wouldn't one of those little wind socks do? And to fly a St. Georges flag in Wales just for the hell of it seems a bit childish to me.IMHOShips and boats always fly the flag of origin.
I rarely fly the union flag of georges cross; I only fly them when we're at a big site so that our kids can find their way back and when we're in Whales .
Hi Colin, were you at The Paddocks near Hereford a couple of weeks ago, we were, and there was a van with the Red Dragon flag on the jockey wheel could this have been you.When we go away we always raise the Red Dragon flag - hitch it to the jockey wheel attachment on a long pole. As a patriotic Welsh couple we have been doing this for many years and have no complaints from either the site owners/wardens or fellow campers. In fact on several occassions it has served as an ice breaker in making friendly conversation with other campers. We will continue to fly the flag and be proud of it. Incidently on the rear of the van there are also two Welsh stickers on the inside of the windows, wont stick anything on the body work. All I can say is fly your flag and be proud of it
Chrissie - think of the song -We'll keep a welcome in the hillside, we'll keep a welcome in the vale, this land of ours will still be singing, when you come home again to Wales.I think Stinky Pete's comment is quite the nastiest thing I have read on here in a very long time. I am not Welsh, I don't even particularly like Wales, but I found this posting to be downright offensive. Surely he should have his membership suspended? Personally, I wouldn't dream of flying a flag of any description. The great thing about caravanning is that it brings us all together; attempts to divide us up into little enclaves by the use of flags etc, seems to go against the whole spirit of getting along together.
Lord B. for an abbreviated version of Stinky Pete's posting see my response dated 25th. OctoberNo need to apologise Colin, there was nothing offensive in your post and theres nothing wrong with healthy debate.
Like you Jane, I couldn't understand what Stinky was trying to imply. It just didn't make sense after Chrissie had posted "I think Stinky Pete's comment is quite the nastiest thing I have read on here" then he implied the editing of his post made him sound nice. Makes you wonder what was edited out if thats the case.
Whales are large/very large air breathing mammalsAlso, I don't have a "desire" to be dislike. I tried to put over that I don't mide being disliked so long as the point is raised.
Good Call mate!Also, I don't have a "desire" to be dislike. I tried to put over that I don't mide being disliked so long as the point is raised.
Well life is full of surprises, I never even realised that Ian Smith was a caravanner.Let me see if I got this right. I fly my Rhodesian (now Zimbabwe) flag and no one will take offence although we defied Britain for 12 years, my wife flies her Welsh flag and my son the South African flag but our home is in England and we are proud to be living here. So do we fly a St Georges flag also or perhaps one from the local rugby club.
Personally I think it is silly to fly flags unless they represent the rally that you are on.
