minus-squarevzqq@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·26 days agoThe funny thing is that the Union Jack is not quite symmetrical. You can hang it upside down, but it takes a very trained eye to see it’s upside down. That’s part of why ships fly a solid red flag with a Union Jack quarter, so it’s readily apparent when they are in distress.
minus-squareGiveOver@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up3·26 days agoThe point is: the people hanging them on lampposts don’t know that, hence half of them being upside down. To be fair, as somebody who has put flags on lampposts, it’s slightly difficult to coordinate the flag orientation when you’re at the top of a ladder.
