Ah, McGraw. I was once told that it is the union flag unless it is being flown from on board a sea going vessel, then it is a union jack. Could be bollocks of course, but might be true?

Now then, it would appear Akenaton reckons Jack the Sailor could teach me some manners? I for one have never insulted gay dudes on this forum, so kettles and pots in Akenaton's general direction.

Allan, I went for the Paisley set of bigots on the basis that they would be most insulted normally if you forgot to mention Northern Ireland as being British. If anybody would feel left out by just Team GB, I am sure the indignation from parts of Belfast would be loud. As it isn't I am assuming Team GB is inclusive enough for most and the vast majority of us wouldn't get excited. In fact, I was only responding to Sailor Jack's sense of confusion.

Ian.
