Disregarding the woman on the right is it that bl00dy difficult to learn which is the right way up? I feel better now, I’m easily satisfied. What’s your mini-rant?

Imagine you had to fly the union jack upside-down to let others know you were in danger or needed help, it would leave you in a bit of a pickle I suppose, not many would notice.

The thing is, it's not her fault! She would have bought that flag from somewhere, already on the pole.
And I will be entirely honest, I don't know the right way round. I know that there IS a right way round, but it has never been a big enough issue in my life to ever take the trouble to mentally note the difference. I know it's something to do with with the thickness of the white stripes, but that's as much as I can say...

The number 8 on the M6 motorway sign that says Stafford 8 miles coming up from Birmingham, is upside down. And has been forever.
I've written letters, with an actual pen about it. Drove through the other day, yup, still upside down. It's Little o at the top and big O at the bottom you absolute clown headed sons of monkeys

Parcel Force ?
The Parcelforce national hub is a major processing center located near Coventry that handles sorting for UK and international parcels before they are sent to local delivery depots for final delivery. It is part of the company's "hub-and-spoke" system, where Parcelforce processes a high volume of parcels daily, sorting them to their destinations for onward transit.
I had one come from Inverness to Coventry then back up to me . I live 100 milesfrom Inverness.

Twats on push bikes with no lights.
Now the dark mornings are here, going to work at 6.30am the amount of dick heads on bikes with no lights is ridiculous

I know it's a small thing considering all the problems in society these days, but I think sorting out law and order should start from the bottom. I would empower the police to administer on-the-spot punishment beatings. Nothing life threatening; just enough make people think twice.

Sounds like my old TomTom sat-nav.
It had a great sense of humour and took us to places we didn't want to go to via areas of Britain we never knew existed..... fabulous for mystery tours.
If we were going somewhere which should have been about 40 miles away, we just made sure we set off with a full tank of fuel and a picnic for snacks.

Thanks, I will try to remember that, but as I said, it is not something that crops up a great deal in my life. If I fly a flag these days, it's the Ddraig Goch, and that's an easy one......

I was told years ago that the thick white lines follow the red stripes when going clockwise - which makes sense to my mind, anyway.
Not a big deal for me though, I prefer my flag.
