The wrong flag  |
|
The flag used by Mylot for England is totally wrong. What they show is the"Union Jack" which combines the crosses of three Patron Saints. St Patrick for Ireland, St Andrew for Scotland and St George for England. I have asked several times to have this changed. The real English Flag, St George's Cross is hopefully shown alongside if my upload works correctly.

1. catdla1 (2616) | 7 months ago | Under the 'MyLot Population', I don't see a heading for England. I do see one for the United Kingdom, for which the formal name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. When I looked that up at http://www.flags.net/UNKG.htm (reference only), it did indeed show the Union Jack flag. Perhaps that's where the confusion comes from? With most countries listed seperately here at MyLot, I don't see why England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are not listed seperately. Would make sense and end a lot of confusion.

egdcltd (1019) | 7 months ago | I believe they mean the myLot interest for England, rather than user details.

catdla1 (2616) | 7 months ago | Now I feel silly. And, of course you're right. Thanks for correcting my error! The English flag for England has been used and accepted since the 16th century. Based on that, it certainly should be acceptable to MyLot as well.

Colmuc (377) | 7 months ago | I was referring to the list of discussions but thank you for pointing out the Mylot population list. I had not realised it was possible to get lists of users for each town. Very interesting. In this list England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are combined as the United Kingdom. I have no objection to that.

2. Lakota12 (16748) | 7 months ago | hmmmmm really I hadnt even paid attetion and I should have. hope ya get it changed to the right one!

Colmuc (377) | 7 months ago | Thank you for your response, Lakota. I don't hold out much hope of getting it changed. It is strange that the English people accept this when under the heading "Scotland" the St Andrew's cross flag is shown. It makes it look like England has no flag or identity of it's own. Do any of our English friends have any opinion on this? Are you happy with the three country flag instead of your own?

Lakota12 (16748) | 7 months ago | your welcome and must no as I havent seen a post in here about it other than your!. To me to just see the Cross would make y'lls flag look really weird. as we have seen it for soooooo long this way.

Colmuc (377) | 7 months ago | Hi ptrikha, thank you for your interest and support. I have had no response from Mylot and it seems very few English people have any interest in their national flag. I will keep commenting on this whenever I get the chance since, as a Scot, I thing it is important that it be corrected.

Colmuc (377) | 7 months ago | Hi Alice, Thanks for your comment. I live outside the UK and am continually coming in contact with people who think Scotland is part of England. This kind of grossly improper representation is an example of how people are misled and it annoys me intensely. It Seems Mylot are not interested but remember the story of Robert the Bruce, he did not give up and eventually got a victory. If I am not supposed to call a Pakistani a "Pakki" or a Chinese a "Chinki" which to me were always friendly terms, then why should someone be allowed to call me English?

Aliceinwebland (4906) | 7 months ago | Good point Col, but I don't have an answer. Are you feeling any better?
| |
|
|
Colmuc (377) | 7 months ago | Still no response or more support from England or, more surprisingly, Northern Ireland and Scotland. I will, however keep trying and maybe find some other way of highlighting this issue which to me is very important.

5. Slashable (100) | 7 months ago | They should change it I think. England wants it's own flag!:)

Colmuc (377) | 7 months ago | Hi Slashable, Thanks for your comment. England should have their own flag but Mylot has other ideas and don't seem interested in correcting their error.

6. robert67 (1344) | 6 months ago | i totally agree, it needs to be changed. if the wrong flag was shown to represent the USA for example there would be uproar.
the union flag represents the whole of the united kingdom. yes, the english flag is incorporated but so are the flags of scotland, wales and the flag of ulster (northern ireland)
i have uploaded the proper english flag to the topic for anyone who wants to change it from the union flag.

Colmuc (377) | 6 months ago | Hi Robert, Thanks for your support. I have complained several times to Mylot and sent them an English flag but have had no response. Your flag is actually better than mine. Any chance of you contacting Mylot and asking them to use your flag?. As an Englishman you might get more respect than they have shown me. Thanks, Col.
