| Thanks for that, that's why I have England UK on my profile. From a biking point of view I've noticed at international rallies that English riders will happily carry Union Jack flags, but Scottish riders always choose the Saltire or Saint Andrews Cross flag, and our sheep bothering neighbours in Wales are rather fond of their Red Dragon flag. |

| I have a GB on my bike because the law demands it (while out of the country) I have a bloody great Union Flag intergrated with the 'Tri Services' Armed Forces Logo on the back of my cutoff by choice  Soon to be moved to my waistcoat, when replaced by the 'Blesma Riders Badge'. |
