rob69 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 With the UK Royal Wedding just a few days away. Does anyone know where I could pick up some Union Jack flags from? Preferably the plastic type ones, you see draped across some bars as you enter. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roysie Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Who the hell wants a Union Jack? - not any Englishman that's for sure. The cross of St.george is far more patriotic. The irish have their flag, the scots and welsh their own and so do us English. Better to support and wave the correct flag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure the correct flag for the Royal Wedding is the Union Jack, though being an Englishman, I could be wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal wedding, since when had the Welsh, Northern Irish and Scottish escaped their clutches? I think Union Jack works best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miltonbentley Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 In response to the OP you can buy flags in the Thai boxing shop at the front of the Loi Kroh bar beer centre. In response to which is the appropriate flag to wave; the Queen is currently, and William is in line to be sovereign of the following countries - Antigua and Barbuda Australia The Bahamas Barbados Belize Canada Grenada Guernsey Isle of Man Jamaica Jersey New Zealand Papua New Guinea Saint Kitts and Nevis Saint Lucia Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Solomon Islands Tuvalu United Kingdom (including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) It would therefore be appropriate to fly any of those countries' flags in celebration of the event although I doubt most of them will be available in Chiang Mai If anyone is that keen I have a 40 by 20 foot Union Jack which I would be prepared to loan out subject to a guarantee that I get it back but you will need a very big place to hang it.

MB - Many thanks for the response, ill have a look at the Thai boxing shop you mentioned in your reply. The mind boggles, but how on earth did you end up with a 40 by 20 foot Union Jack Flag!?!?!?

It was the one that hanged down from the roof in Earl's Court during the final Royal Tournament. It is enormous. I also have a 9 foot Royal Ensign and a Union Jack all of which you are welcome to borrow if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
