Union Jack on small boats

[rodders154]

I have set up a petition at the number 10 website to allow the union jack flag to be flown on small boats. Please look and sign it.
Thanks

Why?

 

[Topcat47]

Buy yourself a propper ensign and you'll get one thrown in....don't be so cheap.

 

[Cliveshep]

What's wrong with the Jolly Roger then?

 

[Judders]

Why?

If you want to fly the Union Jack, join the damn Navy.

The Red (or Blue) ensign is a wonderful part of our maritime herritage. Why change it?

Without a full size posting of your avatar as distraction what else is a boy to do to amuse himself?

 

[Twister_Ken]

Union Jack is normally flown only by members of the Skinhead Sailing Club.

 

[Chris_Robb]

Why on earth would I want to fly the Union Jack?

No I won't sign

 

[cliffordpope]

The value of any petition on the Downing Street website is in inverse proportion to the number of previous petitions. The one on road pricing was the only one that had the remotest chance of achieving anything.
How many million signatures do you think this one will get?

Sniff, sniff, sniff, I smell a troll, funny smell innit!

[/ QUOTE ] No I will not sign it. The red duster has long been the maritime ensign for the Uk and I can see no valid reason for wanting to change to the union flag See HERE for every thing you could wish to know about the Ensigns and follow links to related topics.

Now if and when the time comes I am sure you will get loads of support for a petition to keep the Red duster rather that being compelled to wear some Euro ensign.

Union FLAG,

Oh dear starting to sound like the old forumites!

Union flag for us Jack for those big grey things with guns.

If it were flown from the ensign position, it wouldn't be a jack, would it?

 

[Slow_boat]

Why would anyone want to? We've got a perfectly good ensign.

Dosn't seem to be a box titled 'What a Ridiculous Notion" for me to tick. Personal opinion, of course.

Rodney,

Will you explain why you feel strongly enough to start a petition in the first place?

Hello Rodney?
