I have skulls, points, silver, black and blue balls (ccga get your head out of the gutter!) and I'm always looking to increase my collection. The offending item can be seen here.
    Firstly, the Scottish flag is a part of the Union Flag (Jack is a naval flag and is actually the union flag in the upper right corner of the flag of St. George.

    Secondly, I noticed that you accidentally used a smaller font when you incorrectly wrote rgarding the Union flag.

    Thirdly, by virtue of birth you have sworn allegience to the Queen of England and the Union flag.

    Forthly, I don't know where my mind is, perhaps still in the gutter.

    Fiftly, I shall check on ebay, afterall your birthday is coming up!

    Not quite, the Union Jack and the Union Flag look identical, it just depends on where you put it. A Union Jack is flown from the Jackstaff of a ship.

    The flag you describe is the White Ensign.

    Correct, but also the Union Jack is also much smaller physically than the Union Flag (it has to be to be flown from a jack-staff).
