On radio 4's 'Enquire Within' someone asked why Wales was not
represented on the Union Flag. The reply was that the Cross of
St George was adopted as a national symbol by the Tudors, a
Welsh family, and hence it is the flag of Wales rather than
England. It's a lot easier to draw than above beastie, but not
nearly so good looking. Anyhow the Union flag still has the cross of
Saint Patrick though the union with Ireland was dissolved in 1921,
but not the red hand of Ulster. So we need a dragon, a red hand,
and two crosses. Or home rule for everyone.
There's a huge number of flags in the CorelDraw library. If someone
wants a flag collection they could do worse than to suck them into
giftoascii. Quite a few will probably look OK. Others will
need hand retouching, but at least you will have a good starting
point.
